| "Certainly businesses are becoming much more sophisticated in their marketing, in terms of not only what their booths look like, but adding social media to some of the things they are doing to market, so I know a lot of people were reaching out to their customers through social media to encourage them to come to the convention, so that was great for us too." – Donna Brassard, Publisher, Mainebiz about the 2012 Mainebiz Momentum Convention |
Our NMC Social Media SWAT Team is a group of highly trained social media experts that are prepared to make sure that when it is time for your event, people are paying attention and talking about it on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google +, and other popular social media websites.
