Readers will learn how Evans started Crowdtap and how he has been in the industry since its inception. He got his start as a managing partner in Mr. Youth, an agency that is now part of Publicis. He shares how he has been able to recognize how easily college students are able to penetrate their communities through social media. For Crowdtap, he takes the idea a step further by including other demographics such as moms and teens.
Those in social media marketing jobs will be interested to learn how the social technology platform works, how subscribers choose their platform and how companies stand to benefit from the data that is offered. Evans shares step by step how a new brand can use and leverage the expertise of Crowdtap in order to reach out and make impressions that will increase awareness of the brand as well as what social media platforms are leveraged. The article also goes in depth to share what kinds of activities are used to lead the campaigns and how companies can receive feedback in seconds. This can include videos, apps and special promotions. Content creation is also a big part of the effort. Throw parties direct to the client? Yes, that can happen too and readers will learn what companies have done it and succeeded.
