Social Media and the New Maryland.gov portal

We will be introducing a social content crowdsourcing tool with the new Maryland.gov portal. It will contain a combination of social media platforms aggregated in a single feed. There are limited seats available so we will be selecting the best of the best when it comes to our agency and departmental accounts. It is essential that each of our social media coordinators consistently create interesting sharable content so that this tool is effective for all. You will learn more about this in the coming weeks but now is definitely the time to begin thinking about ways to make your accounts even more powerful!

MEA is expanding their social footprint and they want YOU to FOLLOW!
