Hosted my second event with The Arboretum last week and the vibes were 10/10 👌

Social media managers spend so much of our lives building community for brands, it’s essential we build IRL connections, too.

Shout-out to this group of amazing Atlanta SMMs and a fantastic evening of spirits, pizza, and an impromptu Love Island watch party. 💕

Shout out to ​@Max Pete and Sprout for sponsoring these events! If you’re local to Atlanta, stay tuned for the next one. 👀 And in the meantime, let’s be friends on LinkedIn!

This is amazing! Any tips to share for those of us debating if we should host one? My biggest hangup is not knowing many social media managers in my area, and Sprout not offering to pull a list of clients that are based in my city as starter outreach.

Hey Lisa!

 

I’m sure ​@Anna Laura McGranahan and ​@Flynn have some solid tips :) 

Regarding your point about pulling a list of clients. I can reach out internally to CSMs who cover customers in your area, however I can’t share that list with you. But I can let them know if you do host an event to send that note out to their customers too.
