Are You #Connected?

T

Tweets, shares, likes and hashtags – it’s a part of our daily lives. Technology is a driving force for individuals and businesses, and social media is a major part of how we interact with each other. A little more than a decade ago, you would contact customer service by calling a 1-800 number, writing a letter or sending an email. Today, a simple tweet or posting on a company’s Facebook wall is how millions of consumers interact with businesses.

Derek Brott knows all about this, and he’s building his career based on the knowledge gained from his Social Media Marketing course with us. He earned a degree in marketing in 2012, and our social media course has allowed him to be more competitive in the marketing industry. Although he works full-time in media production, Derek is also building his brand through entreprenuership with his social media business. As far as his future, he said, “I’m excited about the direction in which I’m headed.” That is truly the definition of #winning.

SOCIALLY SAVVY.

SOCIALLY SUCCESSFUL. Social Media Marketing graduate implements knowledge learned to launch his own company

DEREK’S TOP 5 THINGS LEARNED IN SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING: 1. Locating top news outlets on staying relevant in social media (Social Media Examiner).

2. Connecting with thought leaders and how creating relationships on social media is different than face-to-face.

3. Selling my services all over the world using social media.

4. Connecting with likeminded entrepreneurs.

5. Staying in the eyes of the customers and fans.

D

Next class offering: March 2016

Derek Brott lives by the mantra, “Learn through experiences, educate yourself through opportunities.” At just 26, he has personified his goals through his actions and career progression.

The recent Social Media Marketing graduate has always had marketing in his blood. While a student at East Paulding High School, Brott was a member of several marketing clubs that participated in state and regional competitions. In 2012, he earned a bachelor’s degree from KSU in business administration with a concentration in marketing.

“I’m very passionate about marketing – especially creative and visual media,” Brott said. “I knew taking this class would be a great way to learn how to promote my services and market myself.”

As an undergraduate, Brott enrolled in several marketing classes led by Tyra Burton – who also serves as instructor for KSU’s Social Media Marketing certificate program. “She is extremely engaging and very invested in her students,” he said. “She wants to see you do well.”

“What people don’t understand about social media is that it’s not going away,” Burton said. “It’s also something that regardless of your target market, more than likely they are on social media. So whether it’s somebody’s grandpa or grandson, they are on social media and there is a platform that caters to them.”

After attending Burton’s free information session at one of KSU’s Career Training Expos, the aspiring

Derek Brott

”

entrepreneur knew the program would be beneficial to his burgeoning business. “The hardest thing for most people is marketing and branding themselves,” he said. A full-time technical director, Brott has shifted his focus the past two years on what he describes as his “side hustle.” He is mainly referring to his recently launched social media marketing business – which includes website design, social media consulting and blogging. He also uses his learned skills to promote his DJing endeavors.

Brott is most active on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram and also uses Google+ and Pinterest.

Additionally, he is learning new live-streaming apps Meerkat and Twitter’s Periscope. The training he received in class has proved invaluable. As a social media consultant, he advises, “You don’t have to be on every social media site. You will drown. I tell people, find the one platform you have the most interaction with and solely focus on that. Once you have that automated, then branch out.”

When asked about the future of social media, Brott sees it continually expanding. He notes the emergence of wearable tech, specifically with the Apple Watch and Fitbit fitness bracelets. Brott perks up when mentioning how real-time live Q&A sessions are transforming webinars with the use of platforms like Periscope.

However, perhaps the biggest trend in social media is how it’s affected the size of companies. “Large corporations are becoming smaller through social media as they interact with their fans/customers,” he explained. “They humanize experiences which relates to customers. The ability to niche down your target market is huge in social media.”

Another takeaway from Brott’s class experience was learning how to effectively use social media research to build and grow his business. “I’m excited about the direction I’m headed. The tools I’ve gained from this class have been relevant and applicable.”
