We’re looking for a few good leaders to host their own event. Could this be you?

Want to host a Media Leaders event in your city? We’d love to have you on our team. We are looking for one or two leaders in each city to manage an invite team and spearhead their own event. Our professionals usually spend 1 hour per week managing an event and growing their local group in their city while reaping tons of networking rewards. We usually host 7 of these events across the US (and internationally) on that same day (at the exactly the same time) and I have included some steps for success below. If you want to read our whole workbook on how to host your own events, please visit our Media Leaders wiki

Please watch both of videos BEFORE you talk with the MediaLeaders Team.

Here’s how this networking event is different than others:

1) Our events connect internationally with other cities in other countries at exactly the same day/time – You become a part of an international network
2) Our event is not just about twitter – It’s more sustainable and caters to fully employed traditional marketers, advertisers and tech people that use several types of social media platforms.
3) We constantly innovate and create apps that allow our alumni to connect with others using twitter and facebook. Our network is always improved by our team and changes are quick and nimble

Here’s what you get out of this event:

A) We give you all the tools you need to host a successful event – Follow our 10 step plan and you will successfully host an event in your city that gets nationwide (and international) recognition.
B) You get to assemble your own team – If you are chosen to be the leader in your city, you get a chance to build your own invite committee.

Here’s what we recommend for individuals on the invite committee…

They understand social media and use twitter/facebook to communicate

They work in either marketing, advertising, PR, technology or social media

They are very social and like going out for professional events

They are positive and have a good reputation
