Reaching audiences via social media has been an integral component of the 80/35 music festival's marketing strategy since it's launch in 2008. Everything from the early days with MySpace to future plans with Snapchat, Jill Haverkamp, owner of On Pitch, will share how 80/35 stays current on the latest social media trends to engage and expand their reach. Jill will provide insight into the evolution of 80/35's social media efforts, as well as an in depth look at the festival's processes for managing all of their social platforms.
