Play-by-Play on Starting Social Media and Digital Marketing for your Agency

Episode 1: Risk Intelligence (Agency Nation Edition)
Listen to Karen Adamsbaum’s journey as to how to get started with Social Media / Digital Marketing for your agency. The idea is to start out by building a foundation, and then you build upon that. When you do too much all at once without a plan, the outcome is not what you expected and you become frustrated. As the saying goes “Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail.”
No need for frustration, it’s a simple, one-step-at-a-time method, and before you know it, you will have a digital presence for your agency. Within three years she has built platforms on Linkedin, Youtube, Twitter and a Podcast, all by dedicating 1-2 hours a week.
