I recently contributed two guest posts over at Sound n’ Sight, Jenise Fryatt’s blog about event marketing & technology. She asked me to offer my social media management tips for events – which is something Tuvel specializes in (we’ve done it for the NAB Show and the FOSE & GovSec Conferences, to name just a couple). I had loads of advice to offer on the topic – so much that I had to break it up into a 2-parter!

July is almost over – and it was a scorcher, wasn’t it? Luckily, we’ve had a few cool things to read about social media, location-based marketing, cause marketing and PR – while staying indoors. Enjoy, and stay cool this weekend!

I really wasn’t sure what to expect – but the title, of course, did a good job of pulling me in.
Please do take the time to read the post and (try) to read through some of the comments posted as well, but I’ll give you the executive summary: can an agency be built on social media marketing services alone?
