Marketing seems like a natural step shortly after starting your own company, but how can you leverage social media and digital video to make yourself buzzworthy? Mallory Blair, Co-Founder & CEO of Small Girls PR and George Slefo, Reporter at AdAge join This Changes Things to discuss how to market your business effectively using social media.
