Episode 108: State of Social Media in the Promo Industry

Six experts dive into a variety of topics during this in-depth, roundtable discussion.

When it comes to adopting new technologies, the promo industry isn’t always on the cutting edge. And social media is one of those technologies that promo has been slow to embrace.

But now that social media has been around for nearly two decades – and it’s clear that it’s here to stay – promo professionals are making significant strides toward incorporating this powerful tool into their marketing arsenals.

In the latest Social Angle podcast, first streamed live on Facebook, ASI Media’s Vinnie Driscoll chats with social media experts about the state of social media in the promo industry: where it’s at, where it’s going, and its growing importance to the business landscape.
