This must-attend Webinar will show you how to integrate Facebook’s new Timeline format seamlessly as part of your everyday communications initiatives. Get to know the platform now so you can lead your organization and stay one step ahead of the competition.

Join PR News as our panel of communications leaders share their early adopter experiences with Facebook’s Timeline, which officially launched for brands on Feb. 29. You’ll learn tips on selecting a cover photo to visually capture your brand’s image; determine which company milestones to add to the timeline – and what to avoid; how the Timeline will impact the News Feed; and how to adapt your content strategy to keep your fans engaged and returning to your page.

By now, Facebook is fully ingrained in your daily social media and PR efforts. You’ve built a steady stream of content to keep your community actively engaged. But as Facebook evolves and adds new features, your digital strategy should also be updated. Right now Timeline is an opt-in feature for brands. This Webinar will prepare you for the forced shift to the Timeline format and help you leverage the feature for more Facebook success.
