Social Media Maven Sarah Evans Bringing Hot Tips to Hotlanta
Jackson Spalding Sponsors Social Media Bootcamp on May 17
Atlanta (April 26, 2011) – Atlanta-based public relations and marketing firm Jackson Spalding today announced its sponsorship of Social:IRL’s Atlanta Bootcamp event featuring public relations and new media consultant Sarah Evans on May 17. Known on Twitter as @prsarahevans, the social media icon and owner of Sevans Strategy will arrive in Atlanta just weeks after the city was ranked the second most socially networked city in the country. Evans can be seen in Vanity Fair's America's Tweethearts, Forbes' 14 Power Women to Follow on Twitter and Entrepreneur's Top 10 Hot Startups of 2010.
“The @jacksonspalding team and clients have benefited from Sarah Evans 140 characters at a time,” tweeted Jackson Spalding Social Media Director Stefany Sanders. “We can’t wait to meet her in Atlanta!”
Jackson Spalding has been making careful investments to grow its digital communications business and is currently launching expanded Social PR services. The firm is already recognized as a top agency for public relations and branding and will continue to deliver creative, results-oriented thinking for clients who recognize the importance of social integration with their marketing and PR strategies.
Bootcamp attendees will participate in a practical, six-hour workshop planned to provide an in-depth look at the role social media plays in marketing and public relations and learn how to apply the teachings to their businesses and organizations. Meant for all professional levels and social media program stages, event and agenda details are available on the Social IRL blog.
The company coordinating the event, Social:IRL, helps businesses integrate social and new media into their daily lives. The company has a strong belief that the real power of social media is in its ability to make a difference offline and that it should never replace face-to-face interaction. In the spirit of those beliefs, the company organizes events to bring online icons like Sarah Evans to interact directly with other online professionals. Klout and Atlanta-based mBlast are co-sponsors with Jackson Spalding.
Interested participants are encouraged to register early using Social:IRL’s Eventbrite page. If you are unable to attend or registration fills up, follow the hashtag #SocialIRL and participate in the global discussion of topics from this and other events.
