Social Media Marketing's Giant Hammer - Hootsuite

by James Shaw, CEO/Creative Director
Social Media Marketing is a lot easier with the right tools - organize, team share, update, schedule, and generally rock n' roll your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn pages with Hootsuite.

 Twin Creek Media has recently partnered with Hootsuite to make life easier for Okanagan businesses that market themselves on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. It is our tool of choice for social media management.  If you own or market a business in Kelowna, Vernon or Penticton, we can help you connect with other local businesses and customers through social media.  Take the conversation online, and join in the fun! Hootsuite will save hours of pain and frustration trying to manage a bunch of different accounts and keep up with the blur of activity.  Think of Hootsuite as your Giant Hammer in a world full of Fisher-Price squeaky hammers.
