Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook are extremely vital parts of a modern marketer’s toolset. To expose your event to the right people, you’ve got to mix up your approaches a little. In this article, we’ll give you a few quick pointers on how each of these social media pieces can fit into your marketing puzzle, as well as some quick-and-dirty tips on how to use event marketing on social media.

Snapchat

As one of the newest social mediums, Snapchat is at times both frustrating and gratifying; informative and vague; a new spin on traditional video-based marketing.

Tell Stories

One of Snapchat’s most useful features for marketers is what’s called a Story. This is a collection of related Snaps that paint a larger picture of what’s going on at an event. The content included on your Story is available to you and your followers for a total of 24 hours. Use this as a sort of highlight reel to showcase the biggest and best parts of it.
