She will also share with the attendees some of her favorite tools and tricks on creating stunning images in no time.

Social presence is the ability to create awareness for your business into a community of target customers. This takes your content to the next level by translating content information into customer engagement. Elizabeth will cover:

Which social media platforms to choose
How to develop an editorial calendar for social media
What to Talk About
Ways to drive engagement

Best tools to use
