After just 90 minutes, you gained insight into the power of the Google+ platform and made yourself the go-to Google+ expert within your organization.

This Webinar showed you how to:

• Set up a personal profile that represents your brand in advance of the launch of company profiles on Google+
• Organize contacts into “Circles”
• Add friends to your contact Circles
• Use the "Hangouts" video chat feature
• Use Google+ Stream to share content
• Increase traffic to your Web site with Google+
• Integrate Google+ with other Google tools and with your other social media strategies
• Develop a content sharing strategy

It took Google+ just a few weeks to hit the 10 million users mark by the time of Google’s investor earnings call on July 14. Users were sharing more than 1 billion items each day with Google’s +1 button, and journalists were attracted to Google+’s smooth organization of contacts. PR pros must get up to speed with Google+ in order to maintain a competitive edge.

As a social media leader for your organization, it’s vital to be aware of Google+’s communication possibilities.

**The Webinar included a Q&A with the following speakers:

	Marcy Massura Digital Community Manager Weber Shandwick
	John Bell Global Managing Director 360° Digital Influence Ogilvy
