Extend Your Reach By Sharing Your Campaign Information Here

Remember that Social Media Monday is the place where you are able to share important agency campaigns with your fellow state social media managers. Many of our communication teams are unable to carve off funds for social ad campaigns so our combined reach becomes a powerful tool to gain organic reach.

Send me the details of the campaign along with links and suggested posts as early as possible so that we can disperse the information early and often.
