Everyone is talking about it… #DeleteFacebook is trending and Mark Zuckerberg himself is apologizing after what seemed like a lifetime of silence… so what is going on, why does it matter and what needs to change?

It's that time of the month again! You know the drill, come on down and visit us at the Mill for an afternoon of learning, growth, food, and fun! There will be an amazing presentation from our very dear friend and partner Peggy Geisler of PMG Consulting to start things off followed by an hour or so of networking and socializing, made complete with food and beverages to make your tummy smile.

So you've finally taken the plunge and decided to thrust your business/organization into the wonderful (yet ever-changing) world of social media marketing. You're learning what platforms your target audience is engaging with, the right content to publish, and the pitfalls of what happens when your content doesn't align with your audience's goals. Perhaps 2017 was a year filled with those types of social media learning lessons. Well this year, our resolution is to stay on top of the social media rollercoaster. Social media can be a beast of its own kind, so we'd like to break down some of the trends that have been identified so far for 2018!

January 16th, 2018 - The room filled up quickly as attendee's rushed to take their seats. The show was about to begin and the audience was in for a treat. Former Director of Development for Major Gifts, Stanford University and Managing Director of Consulting Services at Cogeo (Fundraising Partner to Tapp Network), Rob Kusel was ready to present at his first of many Tapp Social events. Often delving into interesting and educational anecdotes, Rob invited the audience to share their own stories and receive helpful advice and recommendations.

As we launch full speed into 2018, some of you might be thinking about making some minor (or major) changes to your current marketing strategy. It's not a bad time to consider a revamp to your website perhaps, or maybe even your branding in general.
