This session is a 60-minute webinar on the basic concepts of advertising. It is designed for administrators, executive directors, and marketing decision makers. The attendees will explore the different mediums, their value and the changes that have been occurring since the inception of social media. Is it still a viable medium? Did social media replace the need for print? Why do you advertise and where? How do you choose the right medium and what is the purpose? We will cover what to do with negative coverage and how to avoid getting caught in bad press. We will discuss content, call to action, and tracking.
