New Media Breakfast Edinburgh - 19th February 2010
This first event starts with registration at 7:45am and will finish
at 10:15am. 3 topics will be covered with a 15 minute break at 9am.
As some of you are aware, Pocastmatters ran 2 of these events at
the end of last year therefore the first 2 topics covered will
re-visit the presentations given previously. If you attended these
and a re-cap of those topics is relevant to you then please arrive
for registration at 9am. Following on from the presentation, there
will be a Q & A session and the opportunity to network with
fellow attendees. Each New Media breakfast will feature specific
areas of new media & will demonstrate via live examples how
commercial businesses & non-profit organisations are using
these to market themselves to raise brand awareness, increase brand
loyalty & improve customer relationships.

TOPIC 3 - SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE WORKPLACE 9:15am
Exploring the issues surrounding employee access & the use of
social media as a communication tool. What are the potential

many factors will influence whether or not it is right for your

help you make a more informed decision about allowing access and
the use of social media in your business.

productivity?

networks?
