New York, NY (PRWEB) February 24, 2017
The Social Shake-Up Show (May 22 – 24), the leading social media marketing conference in the U.S., today announced its first wave of keynote speakers. Snapchat pioneer and entrepreneur Shaun “Shonduras” McBride and managing director of New Markets Advisors Stephen Wunker will join the lineup of over 80 corporations, agencies and nonprofits who will equip conference attendees with the social media marketing strategies and tactics to effectively break through the noise and drive better business outcomes for their brands.
“The Social Shake-Up Show will provide everyone, both b2b and b2c brands big and small, with networking and learning opportunities that work specifically for them and that will get them thinking very differently about their communications," said Diane Schwartz, The Social Shake-Up Show's chairwoman and senior vice president of PR News. "Our program integrates interesting perspectives, methodologies and social channels to achieve this.”
These aforementioned brands, like Twitter, Adobe, Center for Disease Control, Cisco, Dunkin’ Brands, Google, Home Depot, Microsoft, Ogilvy Public Relations, Southwest Airlines and Nissan will share their expertise on the ins and outs of live streaming, SEO, storytelling, getting social media buy-in, influencers and social ads on platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
“I’m amped and honored to speak at The Social Shake-Up Show this year,” said McBride. “To be able to share my message around social media authenticity and transparency, network with some of the world’s biggest brands and hang with like-minded folks who are just as passionate about this medium as I am was a no brainer for me.”
Professionals who register prior to the VIP deadline of March 3, 2017 at midnight ET will receive $200 off their pass.
