Thanks to everyone who came out to our event last night to hear about social media and the art of personal branding. We also really would like to thank our host (One Lounge), moderator (Jeremy Caverly) and panelists (Brittany Cooper, Lauree Ostrofsky, and Amanda Littlejohn).
Since we’re all busy this week with work, spring and March Madness, we thought we’d do an abbreviated, Twitter-style recap. See below for some of the most notable tweets from last night’s event.
