Government Case Study: Social Media-Powered Event Calendar Uses Web 2.0 & Promotes Community Business Challenge
This local government produces and promotes numerous events oriented to business, arts, family, culture, development and fitness interests. The client’s Organization Audit had revealed the community’s frustration with having no unified “event calendar,” so this pilot provided one.
