Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 22, 2017
The Social Shake-Up Show (May 22 – 24), the leading social media marketing conference in the U.S., today announced that the 2017 show has sold out with over 500 forward-thinking social media professionals who will be in attendance. Snapchat pioneer and entrepreneur Shaun “Shonduras” McBride will be joined by Coca-Cola’s global group director for digital communications & social media, as well as Southwest Airline’s vice president of communications to give conference attendees “a-ha” moments that will help them effectively break through the noise and drive better business outcomes for their brands.
Key Sessions at The Social Shake-Up Show Include:
Opening Session: Time to Shake Things Up! Join artist, entrepreneur and social media personality Shaun “Shonduras” McBride, as he discusses how to build a brand by leveraging platforms like Snapchat, YouTube and Facebook to create authentic content that keeps people’s attention—and keeps them coming back for more.
Shakers on a Panel: Star-Making Blogging and Podcasting Strategies: Join execs from SAP, Hinge and How Stuff Works to learn what it takes for bloggers and podcasters to shake up perceptions of their brand – and what success looks like in business terms.
Main Stage: Creating a Powerful Narrative Through Storytelling: Join execs from The Coca-Cola Company and Renegade to master the true art of storytelling on social.
Case Studies: When the S-T Hits the Fan: Managing Crises on Social Media: Join Southwest Airlines, Zignal Labs, CDC and Affect to hear about case studies of organizations that have made lemonade out of lemons by employing best practices in digital communications.
“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.”
The aforementioned speakers will be joined by over 80 corporations, agencies and nonprofits that will all 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.
In addition to educational sessions, attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in multiple networking events including an opening reception, 80s rooftop party, dine-arounds, yoga, a morning walk, a motorized bike tour and tour of Ponce City Market.
"Social Shake-Up Show does what other social media conferences can’t –programming that is truly the right fit for all social media practitioners, from SMBs to big brands in both b2b and b2c,” said Steve Goldstein, editorial director for The Social Shake-Up Show and PR News. “We’re able to do this by integrating interesting perspectives, methodologies and social channels, which will get attendees to think outside-the-box about their communications.”
There are no more seats available for the 2017 show, but dates for 2018 have been announced as May 7-9, 2018 at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta. Professionals can save $1,250 on their passes by registering today. For questions regarding the conference, contact director of marketing, Laura Snitkovskiy at laura(at)accessintel.com.
