The Social Media Conference for Marketing Leaders

“It was great networking, but in such a welcoming, fun way; it was like finding your people…”

“I felt completely on fire that I got to meet a bunch of people who did the same thing that I did in a small setting. It was great networking, but in such a welcoming, fun way; it was like finding your people.

Social Fresh is like a social media summer camp for people who live and breathe this. There’s definitely an air of — and I say this respectfully, because I’m one of them — people who are total social media nerds and want to talk about things that other people don’t want to talk about with you. If that’s you, you’ve found your conference.

It was also amazing to hear directly from the people behind the successful campaigns I’d seen on social. Because we might see that campaign and think, ‘Wow, that’s so cool,’ but if you hear the story of how it really came together, it’s really helpful.”

“…the posts we created from that session are our highest engaging content out of the entire year. 100% of the idea came from that one session at Social Fresh.”

“After the first Social Fresh conference we went to, I remember thinking, ‘Whoa, we pretty much have takeaways from every speaker who stepped on that stage.’ The content is not only really great, but the speakers walk through how you can do it yourself, so it’s easy for you to bring back those strategies and start experimenting with them.

For example, there was a whole session on memes. We’d never done memes before, and the meme posts we created from that session are our highest engaging content out of the entire year. 100% of the idea came from that one session at Social Fresh.

The experience was also really fun, and it felt more intimate versus a huge conference where you’re just a fly on the wall. The digital quality of what they put on was really nice, including multiple screens to look at the content. Maybe it was just that the content was that good, but it felt more fun than a lot of the other conferences I’ve been to.”

“Going to Social Fresh helps you to 1) ensure the track you’re on is the right track and 2) get reassurance that the problems you’re running into aren’t specific to you – they’re happening to everyone. It’s also really helpful to hear how other people in the industry individually solved those problems.

There’s a lot of networking with fellow social media professionals and this directly benefits you from a comradery aspect, but also from a problem-solving aspect. You get to know other people in the industry and can ask them ‘Hey, I’m running into this problem, has anyone else experienced this?’ And from there you can swap ideas and problem-solve together.

Ultimately, I had fun and the people were really wonderful. It was very cool to meet the faces behind recognizable brands on social media and talk to social media professionals from brands I personally admired.”
