Social media marketing | Liz Hover's Diary of a Web Gal

Back in October I gave a presentation about social media to Canadian Women in Communications.

As a result I was invited to talk about social media to the staff of On Screen Manitoba.

A colleague of mine attended my Canadian Women in Communications presentation and came up with an idea: to present a series of workshops delivered by me and hosted by my employer, National Screen Institute – Canada (NSI).

Beginning January 2010, the National Screen Institute in Winnipeg will hold three lunchtime workshops covering Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.

This is the start of something I have aspired to do for a long time: to share some of my knowledge about all this internet stuff I read about and practice daily in my job as website manager and online content producer.

This blog is one place where I do that but I’ve learnt that I love to present in person and social media gets me pretty excited.

There are further plans in the pipeline which I’ll share when I know more.

I had my annual review with my boss last week. I told her how lucky I feel to have found my passion. Most of us wait a long time to discover a career we truly love. I’m so pleased to have found mine.

It’s official – I’m giving a presentation about the social web at a Canadian Women in Communications workshop on October 21.

This is a Winnipeg event being held at The District meaning, thank the Lord, I get to guzzle a glass of wine before my presentation. Yey.

I’ll be giving hints and tips about using the social web with practical applications you can take back to the office and use right away.
