Social Media Saturdays
OK, so it’s not Saturday morning cartoons, but social media on Saturdays can be fun!
In order to take advantage of the tremendous power of social media, you need to start with a hands-on approach to give you to plan, the tools and the know-how to make use of these state of the art tools. Join acclaimed social media expert, trainer, author, coach, award-winning blogger, and founder of The MarketingSavant Group, Dana VanDen Heuvel as he takes you beyond the “now what” stage of social media and gives you the skills to immediately put social media to work for you or your organization.
You know that you need to get up to speed on social media for your business or career and you know that now is the right time to do it. Perhaps you’ve gone to a social media seminar, or attended a webinar or even read a few books, but you would like to have had more hands on or at least more technical instruction on how to actually sett up and use the tools and sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Wordpress, etc. and get some more instruction on how to interact and make them work for you. We invented Social Media Saturdays just for you!

October 3rd – Course overview, planning session, RSS & social media listening
October 10th – Blogs, blogging & creating your home base online
October 17th – Twitter – Everything you ever needed to know

Social Media Saturdays is unlike one-day social media events or web seminars where you try to learn everything in a day and leave with more questions than you have answers! Social Media Saturdays is a six-week, hands-on social media boot-camp for professionals who don’t want to just “know” about social media, but who really want to master it.
Taught in a relaxed weekend atmosphere, Social Media Saturdays is the most thorough yet relaxed and informative series of social media classes that you’ll ever attend. The limited class size and hands-on approach in a fully functional computer lab ensure that you’ll leave each session with a new set of social media tools and the skills you need to make them work for you.
The six-week series provides ample time between topics and allows you to interact with the instructor in between classes to ensure that you are able to master each of the social media topics discussed before you move on to the next.
Enrollment is limited to 24 people. If you’d like to attend all 6 sessions, it’s $399 or $299 if you register by 9/18. If you’d like to attend on a per-session basis, it’s $79. Payment is required prior to attending and can be made through the course website here.
All courses will be held at [TBD].
All of the classes are conducted in workshop format with equal parts instruction, hands-on and Q&A. You’ll leave each class with a fully functioning set of social media tools and an effective plan for using each one! Each section will include handouts and some sections will have their own dedicated workbooks for the class.

What have people said about other MarketingSavant classes?
Pat Olejniczak, Kress Inn – St. Norbert College
“Dana is the Social Networking and Internet Marketing Guru. He provides “real life” examples on how to take advantage and implement the many marketing tools he provides. I found the seminar to be very rewarding and valuable. I would highly reccommend Dana’s seminars and speaker engagements. I believe you would find the time well spent.”
John Benberg, Boys & Girls Club of Green Bay
“Every time I hear Dana speak a bunch of notes go down on the page–which then turn into action items back at the office–the Boys & Girls Club of Green Bay gets better with every touch.”
Attendee, LinkedIn & Facebook for Professionals Workshop
“Knowledge shared with a twist of humor…my kind of seminar. Not one your head will began bobbing in after a few minutes or even hours! Every word or idea shared kept me interested. The information sponge was saturated.”
Michelle Richard and Lisa Piikkila, Co-Owners, Coalesce Marketing & Design, Inc.
“Dana is the E.F. Hutton of blogs. When he talks, you can’t help but listen intently – and become totally mesmerized by the enormous potential blogging offers insofar as marketing directly to consumers and other stakeholders. But, in addition to giving our team at Coalesce Marketing & Design, Inc. a solid grasp of the awesome power of blogging, Dana has also called our attention to the “watch-outs” as we consider integrating this approach within our clients’ marketing strategies.”
Judith Hepburn, Reno, NV AMA Chapter
“I worked with Dana in preparation for two AMA functions in Reno where he was the featured speaker. I was very impressed with the content of his talks, which included practical, useful and insightful marketing information for our members and guests. He delivered a superior presentation for both meetings. In addition, after his talks he created a blog for us that contained both presentations! A definite added value. I recommend Dana highly, and look forward to another presentation here in Reno.”
Natalie Palmatary, Management Supervisor, Northlich, Inc.
“Let me just say…bravo! Your expertise in the new media area opened new dialogues with our clients, prospects and staff leading to expanded opportunities for our business. Your willingness to work so closely with us on the presentation and your congenial nature made our workshop even better than expected. Applause and thanks.”
Attendee, AMA TechnoMarketing Workshop
“Dana VanDen Heuvel was an outstanding instructor – great presentation, tons of info, interactive, comprehensive, accessible, good pace, kept it so interesting! Entertaining two days.”
Mimi Collins, Director of Communications, NACE
“I just wanted to let you know how valuable I found the TechnoMarketing workshop in Philadelphia. There are several items I can implement immediately, and many more that we’ll look at as we move forward as we restructure our web site with a CMS.”
Judy Black, Marketing Director, Metropolis at Metrotown (Vancouver)
“Just the right level of instruction! I had a hard time finding a course on this topic (TechnoMarketing), until this one came along. Most were either too piecemeal, elementary or advance. This was just right!”
Attendee, LinkedIn & Facebook for Professionals Workshop
“Excellent trainer, Dana! Thanks for the great passout so we can understand all those social media terms and marketing technology. I learned so much also by all the questions that were addressed and answered.”
Attendee, “What the Tweet is Social Media”
“This was a great event for anyone looking to incorporate Social Media into their business practices and/or improve upon what they are currently doing.”
