I've been talking about all this stuff for a while now - here are a few other blog posts from the archive that capture some of my other thoughts on some of these issues.
Social media is a must for every business today. Specialised training like this can be really helpful as it will allow an organisation to manage social media marketing in-house which is essential for long term success.
