Harness the power of online communities – IF at the IDM

The institute of direct marketing (IDM) has just uploaded a lovely video of Adam as the course tutor of a very practical workshop on social media.
The social media training course demonstrates how to:

identify where social media can add value for your organisation

set out policies and procedures to manage risk
monitor online conversations about your organization
