    Lindsay covers everything in her one-day workshop. I came in knowing ZERO about social media--less than anyone else in the class. I left with a headful of useful information. Highly recommend.

    Excellent overview of current social media platforms and where they are best used for different kinds of businesses and services. Our instructor was funny knowledgeable and moved at a quick pace but made everything relevant to the students that she had on hand. The course is very helpful for me and would be for anyone who does not feel super comfortable with all the social media going on around them,

    Lindsay is a very knowledgeable teacher and covers a lot of ground in a single day. I do think it is worth noting that some aptitude with all of the platforms covered (mainly Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram) is expected. So I am not sure this is a true beginners class. I think it's more beginner/intermediate. But she shared a lot of great information including some of her well researched 'secrets.' In sum: a good investment for anyone doing social media for work who wants to step up their game.
