Cathy O’Neal, communications director for Levitt Pavilion in Arlington, Texas, an outdoor concert venue that presents more than 50 free concerts a year, wants to know what you are doing on Sunday, Aug. 9. Join her as she presents Social Media Bootcamp at the NCRA Connect Virtual 2020 and learn how you can use social media to help grow your business and expand your presence in the marketplace. Watch her video here to learn about what she plans to share.
NCRA Connect 2020 is the Association’s first-ever virtual conference, with live events happening Aug. 7-9. Participants will have access to a variety of informative and interesting educational sessions, a dynamic keynote presentation, and numerous networking opportunities packed with fun, games, and prizes, and much more.
O’Neal’s session, Social Media Bootcamp, offers a fun and enlightening look at how social media can be changed from chore to tool in a firm’s business plan for success. O’Neal holds a journalism degree from the University of Texas at Arlington, where she also serves as an adjunct professor in the Communications Department teaching media writing, public relations management, and public relations case studies.
According to O’Neal, social media can help you gain visibility, reputation, and clients. She will cover the who, what, when, where, and why of social media from the vantage point of a seasoned communications pro who finished 2019 with a 3.2 million Facebook reach! O’Neal will help attendees learn how to weed out the stuff they don’t need, focus on the stuff they do need, analyze real-world examples, and help them walk away from the session with action items they can put in practice immediately to start building the social media presence they want.
