Raidious Launches New Social Media Training Program

Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) October 18, 2010

Raidious, an interactive marketing firm based in Indianapolis, has launched a new social media training program, SocializeU.

SocializeU social media management workshops are designed to teach the concepts, tools, and best practices in online marketing and engagement.

“The Raidious team deals with large-scale social media management for multiple national and regional brands, day in and day out, Taulbee Jackson, President/CEO of Raidious, said. The SocializeU program is based on our real-world experience, as well as generally accepted best practices. The SocializeU training program will provide companies with affordable, practical, applicable training for their team – from experienced, well-qualified professionals.”

Courses are appropriate for companies either looking to begin digital marketing and social media initiatives, or those who may have tried their hand at online marketing without success. Whether taken a la carte, as a series, or as an intensive multi-day workshop, SocializeU sessions aim to provide businesses with the means and methodologies to successfully market themselves online.

Topics covered include writing for the web, best practices, creating a social media marketing plan, and social media for crisis communications.

SocializeU was created by Matt Chandler, Senior Content Architect and Director of Training for Raidious. Chandler is an adjunct faculty member at the Arts Institute of Indianapolis, where he teaches Web Marketing as part of the Interactive Media Bachelor of Science program. Matt has over a decade of experience managing online content and marketing programs for enterprise organizations. He is a member of the Information Architecture Institute and the American Advertising Federation, and is a featured guest blogger for Social Media Today, Marketing Tech Blog and My Venture Pad.
