WASHINGTON, Nov. 11, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FaceTime Strategy, a full service interactive marketing agency, has reached out to the next generation of PR professionals to share ideas on social media and the value it holds in today's marketplace. This effort is led by social media advocate, who is an Account Manager at FaceTime, Anthony LaFauce. Anthony has worked in PR and marketing for several years and has been quoted as a thought leader in social media on many blogs and online journals. Anthony recently lectured to a group of students at Washington DC's American University.
"I was so thrilled to see Anthony back in my classroom again. This time, he was my guest speaker, not my student," said Professor Gemma Puglisi. "I was really moved to be honest to have him back and to see how great a Practitioner he has become. His visit gave my class the opportunity to see what they will do in the next few years -- and how successful they can become as well."
During the lecture Anthony promoted social media tools that are consistently taken for granted and how they can be used to effectively communicate a company's brand. His two mantras, "Owning your name" and "Turning actions into voice" were the basis of the class's discussion where he demonstrated to the students how they could start using social media to promote themselves and prepare to enter the workforce.
"Everyday people do things to promote a brand," said Anthony. "Social media allows one to turn actions like meetings and lunches into promotions for a company. By creating a network of interested parties, via social media, these students can grab an emerging market and really won it."
Anthony continues to champion social media in education as a tool that allows students and your professionals to brand themselves. He practices his techniques on a variety of clients ranging from non-profits and start ups to established brands.
