Metro DC Businesses Benefit from Social Media Strategist’s Insights
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) December 10, 2014 -- Social media guru, Dave Nelsen, shared applicable insights at Capital Bank’s most recent Thinking Ahead Business Series. “Companies that blog generate, on average, 55 percent more web traffic to their sites than those that don’t, and here’s why: Google algorithms prioritize new content in search results and half of all Internet traffic starts with a search.” This was just one of the take-aways gained by the 130 local business executives gathered at Gannet/USATODAY headquarters in McLean, VA on December 4, to attend a complimentary seminar hosted by Capital Bank, N.A. The featured speaker was entrepreneur and social media pioneer, Dave Nelsen, who has turned his social media expertise into a highly successful career as a business consultant.
Nelsen is the third speaker brought to the Washington metropolitan area by Capital Bank for its Thinking Ahead Business Series.
