Live Tweeting Tonight: #flaforum
I’ll be tweeting live tonight from the Florida Forum on Energy Exploration, sponsored by Gannett Florida and Florida State University. The forum will take place from 7:00-9:00 PM at the WFSU-TV studio in Tallahassee.
Look for tweets with the #flaforum hashtag…reporters, staffers, lobbyists, and others will be using it.
Let the debate begin!
Hamilton County Economic Roundtable Participants Talk Local Jobs, Renewable Energy
Quote of the day: “We need the jobs and we need the affordable energy.”
–State Senator Charlie Dean, R-Inverness, whose legislative district includes Hamilton county.
Capitol Energy Communications was proud to help facilitate an informative and productive economic roundtable today in Hamilton County. Hamilton County residents and small business owners enjoyed a homemade luncheon (thank you Sandy Hurst!), received a presentation of the ADAGE Hamilton County proposed project, and participated in a question and answer session with representatives from ADAGE, AREVA, and Duke Energy.
We will update with photos soon. In the meantime, check out the ADAGE website.
Social Media For Small Business Owners
My younger brother Lucas, also a Tallahassee native, is attending a social media seminar today hosted by Social850, a partnership which aims to help businesses utilize social media.
An engineer by trade, Lucas has taken the entrepreneurial plunge and started his own business, turning re-purposed wood into beautiful and functional art. Paying for advertising is tough for any small business owner, so I encouraged him to learn how to leverage social media to get his message out.
As a communications professional, it’s critical that I keep up with all the new resources that social media has to offer. I offer strategic, cost-effective communications services, including media relations, branding, and PR. Part of doing the job right often requires partnerships with other professionals, and just like graphic designers or website developers, social media experts are increasingly becoming part of a good communications team. It’s good to know where to turn.
PS—I’ll post a link to Lucas’s new website when it’s live. Recycling beautiful wood from our own backyards—wood that otherwise would have ended up in a landfill—and making it useable again? Sounds like some of our clients. I’m in!
