Shirley de Rose’s Summary

I always love a new challenge, especially when it involves an idea whose time has come!

And that's what's happening in the meetings industry and, therefore, to the catering industry. It's all about being green and being sustainable - both, if that's possible!

With my expertise in start-ups and entrepreneurship and my love for helping industries become sustainable, my position with the Sustainable Catering Association (http://www.sustainablecateringassociation.org) is such a natural (pardon the pun) fit. I'll also enjoy using social media marketing, including LinkedIn, to get the word out to all of you fans of green-ality and sustainability.

Today's buzz is all about Social Media Marketing. But can Social Media really be used for marketing purposes? You bet it can. Many companies are beginning to understand how to leverage a video on YouTube and tweets on twitter into their marketing strategy. Since Social Media is literally taking over the web it's necessary now to go beyond just joining LinkedIn. And guidance makes it a whole lot easier.
