Topic: Insights into how B2B and B2C Marketers Plan a Social Media Strategy
According to a benchmarking study just released by the researchers at Marketing Sherpa, marketers are maturing in their social media marketing and seeing increased return on investment as they mature through the stages of social media marketing adoption.
What stage of using this emerging marketing strategy are you at? And are you seeing the ROI, yet?
At The Surge Group we strongly advocate for, and support our clients in, integrating social media strategically into a comprehensive marketing plan and we will share some pointers on how to do this effectively.
Gain insights into how to plan a social media strategy and integrate it into your formal marketing plan so you, too, can see the benefits of increased ROI from time spent on the various social media.

Business Resiliency™ Workshops
What are the strategies successful businesses employ to promote resiliency? The Surge Group believes that the foundation and driving force for business resiliency in both good and tough times are authenticity, engaging vision, and robust management processes for action.
Each of the three half-day workshops in the Business Resiliency series focuses on a specific functional area:
1. Marketing
2. Operational and Financial
3. Leadership and Organizational Culture
We help you assess the resiliency of your own business using our Business Resiliency Assessment tool and facilitate an exploration of best practices. You gain strategies you can implement immediately, as well as long term solutions to sustain your business. Each of the workshops offers round table discussions and the opportunity to obtain insights from other business owners.
In each workshop you will:
- Gain insight into the drivers of business resiliency for thriving in tough times
- Identify opportunities to increase the resiliency of your business
- Create an action plan for developing and implementing your business resiliency opportunities
- Meet a network of like-minded business owners
Sign up for one or sign up for all three workshops in the series. It’s your choice.
