(eWebWire.com) April 07, 2010 — WORLD WIDE WEB, April 07, 2010 (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) — VANCOUVER, B.C. April 7, 2010—Carisa Miklusak, Entrepreneur and Co-Founder of SoMedios, will speak at the f5 Expo in Vancouver on Social Media Response Strategy, one of the largest concerns organizations face today in the new media space.
Carisa will discuss how creating a social media strategy and a corporate response strategy empowers organizations to capitalize on engagement with social media users. “Organizations are often hesitant to enter into the social media space for fear of consumers or employees posting negative comments. But the fact is that these users may already be commenting and when companies choose to ignore the online conversation, a conscious decision is made to delegate their brand authority to their audience. The good news is that with a proper response strategy, companies can productively engage their audience, leveraging both positive and negative content to build relationships” said Miklusak.
As social media has become a critical factor in business success, Carisa will also discuss how to streamline efforts in the sea of social and mobile media sites so that organizations can scale and sustain their social media campaigns. “What allows social media to make such an impact on businesses is the trust that exists between users. Members of a social network tend to trust one another more than they do an organization or brand” Said Miklusak.

The F5 Expo will feature a keynote presentation from Malcolm Gladwell, and presentations from over 20 other expert speakers from companies and agencies on the leading edge of integrated marketing.The F5 Expo has emerged as a leading new media technology conference in North America.
