Engaging in social media is no longer optional for many businesses, especially those online. But in a startup environment, everyone already wears a lot of hats. Who should take this on? What types of media should they embrace? Should a startup try to reach the entire internet?

We’ll discuss adopting and adapting social media for startups (as well as a bit of community management) so that it’s useful to your business and audience. Real-world examples will demonstrate the value.
