Planet Digital presents 2010 SOCIAL MEDIA WORKSHOPS
2 part Social Media Workshop to Teach Proven Strategy and Tactics
Social media without strategy is like peanut butter without jelly. Believe it or not, they’re meant to go together. That’s why Planet Digital’s partnering with Social Media Strategist, Murray Izenwasser for a second time to show you how. Whether you’re just beginning or have fully embraced social media, Murray will give you the tools you need to develop and implement a strategy that drives results and revenue.

Attendees will learn:
• The basics of what the different platforms and websites are, and how they fit into your overall strategy.
• Why there is no good excuse for NOT using social media.
• Why website optimization is paramount to social marketing.
• How to keep your company in your customers’ “consideration set”, and be there when they’re ready to buy.
• How to create a true social media program that supports your organization's goals and strategies.
• Understand the different categories of social media platforms, and the way each should be used.
• Use Facebook and LinkedIn to their fullest potential.

Back for the second time, Murray’s teaching this workshop next month during two half-day sessions scheduled for Tuesday July 22 and Wednesday July 23.
Location, location, location! It’s proven to be true with Planet Digital’s new spot...
Location, location, location! It’s proven to be true with Planet Digital’s new spot – 701 E. Washington Street, still in the heart of downtown Thornton Park. We celebrated with a fantastic Halloween-themed Open House on October 29th. Upwards of fifty or so of our closest friends, clients, colleagues, and curious passersby even, descended upon our two-story slice of heaven. There were demonstrations going on throughout the night in our various areas of expertise—our video staging area, our graphic design room and our production hub. Everybody always made it back down to the huge assortment of tasty treats and potent beverage deliciousness. What a spread we had! The porch was a tremendous meeting spot as well, particularly since the keg of Yuengling was located there. And there we have it again – location, location, location!!!
Spongebob and Disney character artist Harry Moore was the man of the hour as he mingled throughout the crowd of our favorite contemporary and eccentric personalities. There were several new faces in attendance -- and many eager to network and meet one-on-one with the illustrator. Guests got first hand insight into the life of a professional illustrator during a fabulous Q&A session with Harry.

iPhone Games Cook-Off
Mobile devices are changing the boundaries of Game-Play. No longer confined to the living room; breaking out from the limited boundaries of single and even multi-player systems– we are now entering a space where anyone that you meet can be a player, and where are games are intensely geo-aware.
As the spatial and social boundaries of gaming break down, we are also seeing better graphics and more intense, more realistic games for the phone. The sky is the limit, and now is the time for new developers to lay claim to this rich and diverse mobile territory.
Join us at Planet Digital on Thursday, June 18th, for a serious look at the mobile playground. Learn from the experts who are developing iPhone games in Orlando, and pick up valuable techniques that you can use to develop your own projects.
