- Events - Events should be marketed in every imaginable way - print, email, your blog, Twitter. That said, tweets about your presence at an event can easily tee your writers up for innumerable pieces of content.
- Brand Recognition - Promote blog posts on your company's Twitter page as well as your employees' Twitter pages. Cross-promoting content will help your company grow in notoriety and serve to establish your employees as part of your brand.
