  • Why Do Audiences Engage on Social?

    I stumbled upon this Prezi presentation I created for the Great Raleigh Chamber of Commerce annual biz expo last year, and though it was still valuable enough today to share. One of the big takeaways? Why people engage on social – and ways your brand should capitalize on these opportunities.…

    Author’s Note: Below is a short essay I submitted as part of an exam for the “Business Relationship Management” course I am currently taking as part of the NC State University Master’s of Global Luxury Management program.
