Sean Beckingham Discusses Social Media Branding Strategies

— July 25, 2013 — Business
Sean Beckingham is a man of the future; his social media branding strategies have put his own company, and a ton of others, on top of their respective markets. A few years ago, Sean realized that social media was becoming a necessary aspect of marketing. Learning everything about Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms in an impossibly short time, Sean noticed that companies could reach an incredibly wide audience using only their computer. That was how his company, Branding and Buzzing, was created. This innovative new business helps other companies make the best of social media influencers all over the web. Through reaching out to different influencers via social media platforms, Sean has helped to increase some companies' followings tenfold.

Sean swears by social media, telling people just entering the advertising industry to increase their online presence. "You don't have to be on 20 different networks," he advises. "Pick a couple, make sure you understand them, market segments in the color of who you are, and just do social media."

With the contemporary marketplace relying more and more heavily on online influencers, Sean's advice couldn't be more true: social media really is revolutionizing the advertising industry.
