At this September 8 webinar we’ll look at the wide range of opportunities available to communicators on Facebook Live, what resources are required to get started on the platform and how to build a successful strategy for your company or clients. Today, video viewers watch live videos three times longer than they would a pre-recorded video. Facebook Live drives views and user engagement by combining the engagement of live video with the amplification of Facebook's network of over 1.23 billion users.  If you're looking for new and effective ways to engage an audience, leveraging this platform is a great place to start.

Facebook Live broke some of the most important news events this year, and in doing so changed how we think about social media and its possibilities; but even though it’s seen success, many brands are still trying to pin down what resonates best with viewers. Speakers from iHeartRadio, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and AR | PR will share their early on experiences with the application and strategies for building and engaging audiences.
