Community Connections hosts its next meeting today, Wednesday, Jan. 17, starting at noon at the Old Lyme Country Club. The meeting is being co-sponsored by the Lyme-Old Lyme Chamber of Commerce and this is the first time these two organizations have combined to sponsor an event and both are looking forward to the energy and synergy that it is anticipated the event will generate. All are welcome.
Despite the inclement weather forecast, it is anticipated the roads will be clear by travel time to the meeting and so the event is ON! Walk-in’s are welcome.
The event will be a Networking Luncheon and Discussion at which brand journalist and digital media specialist Kayla Hedman of Miranda Creative, Inc. and Memoir Hub, LLC, will be the featured speaker. Her talk titled, “Media Strategies to Boost Marketing in 2018,” will cover the top five new media strategies to boost marketing this year.
Hedman will discuss:
- how to best utilize new social media features
- how to communicate effectively with your audience via email marketing
- ways to attract people to your website and encourage them to take action
- some of the best places to publish event listings
- how to best integrate authentic video and photo into your marketing
Networking discussions during lunch will precede the presentation and roundtable discussions along with a question and answer session will follow.
The luncheon will be held at the Old Lyme Country Club, 40 McCurdy Rd., Old Lyme from 12 to 1:30 p.m. All are welcome but advance registration is required. Walk-ins will be accepted if space permits.
