Hey all,
Episode 12 is the one you won’t want to miss!
In case you’re annoyed/terrified/unsure about everything that’s been happening with updates from social media platforms—Facebook, I’m looking at you—it’s time to take a fresh look at how we approach content and social media as businesses.
And there’s no better person to have as a guest when it comes to social media than Brian Peters. Brian is a digital marketing strategist with Buffer and you probably know him from Buffer’s podcast, videos, and blog. He’s also driving Buffer’s email marketing efforts, brand partnerships, evangelism, video marketing, and much more.
