This week we’re talking about focusing your social media. Using social media as an organization creates a new environment for instant communication, but also requires putting out content that will catch the interest of your constituents. Abigail Quesinberry, media and marketing strategist for Center for Teaching Quality, talks to Beth about just that. She goes over the benefits of repurposing content, what happens when you tweet the same link multiple times, and how she got the whole country behind a social media movement about brushing teeth effectively. We also talk about the power of collaboration and how working together, organizations can expand their reach – and more important – their impact.
