While social media has transformed the way we connect and communicate personally and professionally, we have to ask: What really has been the impact on EdTech? And why should EdTech companies make it an important part of their marketing and sales plan?

In this edWebinar, a panel of experts in education marketing look back and forward to discuss the evolution of social media in education and will present results from a September 2018 Survey on Social Media Marketing in Education. The panelists discuss the following questions:

  • How important is social media in your overall marketing plan?
  • What parts of your business does it help the most?
  • What channels are most effective?
  • What type of content is most effective?
  • What are the biggest challenges you face using social media?
  • If you can’t measure it, why do it?

This recorded edWebinar will be valuable for anyone interested in social media marketing in the education industry.
