We are very excited to invite you to attend a presentation given by Rick Burnes, an expert in social media marketing, on December 6 at the Phillips Brooks House Association. Rick currently serves as a marketing manager at Hubspot (www.hubspot.com), a fast-growing Cambridge-based start-up that offers internal marketing software aimed at optimizing the marketing efforts of small and medium-sized companies. Additionally, Hubspot focuses on providing marketing webinars, retraining programs, and other training kit designed to educate entrepreneurs on how to leverage emerging social media networks to best serve their marketing needs. Before working in his current capacity as a marketing manager at Hubspot, Rick worked in Online Sales and Operations at Google and is also the co-Founder of Faneuil Media, which helps site owners publish maps and data. We look forward to welcoming Rick on December 6 and learning more about social media marketing, and we hope that you will be able to join us!
