BlogWell is all about how big brands use social media. No agencies, no startups — just big companies sharing what they’ve learned. Get practical, how-to advice on creating great content, getting management buy-in, educating employees, keeping lawyers and regulators happy, simple and ethical disclosure, and engaging fans.

You’ll ask questions, discover new ideas, and get answers from people who have been there, done that — and learn it all in four hours (and be home for dinner).

Presented by GasPedal and the Social Media Business Council.

As one of the more recent additions to the Ad 2 Board family, Brittany officially drank the Kool-Aid and became hooked on Ad 2 in Summer ‘09.  Since jumping on board, Brittany has helped out in lots of different areas, eventually earning herself a spot on the Ad 2 Programs Committee!

If you’re thinking about getting more involved in the club, listen to Brittany when she says, “I wanted to be more involved with the club and get to know everyone better.  It has been a lot of fun.  The meetings are entertaining and I am happy to be a part of the programs committee!”  So next time you’re mingling around an Ad 2 event, be sure to introduce yourself and say thanks… she probably planned it =) !!
