Blog Out Loud: Building a Blog Community
While producing the SheSays LA event, I met Rebecca Orlov who co-founded Blog Out Loud, a free networking resource for creative people to create a presence online and connect to community. Together, we collaborated on a workshop for the advertising production community to share social media insights and discuss how to build a blog community. I produced and moderated the event, which included the following panelists: Clint Schaff, Director of New Media; Jerry Solomon, Executive Producer; Damon Webster, Executive Producer, Simon Mainwaring, Creative Director, Rebecca Orlov and President of Wiredrive, Bill Sewell.
Topics included:
1) Why blogging and social media channels are essential for your business.
2) How to set up a blog, define a strategy and make it effective.
3) Finding your authentic voice and making a name for yourself and organization.
4) How to transform your business without a huge marketing budget.
5) How to connect to community, engage your audience in conversation and encourage interaction.
