Content Marketing World 2016. #CMWorld
Ever struggled to keep up with a speaker while taking notes or tweeting to the event hashtag? it’s probably even harder while eating your lunch!
That’s why I’ve created this Tweet Sheet. Bookmark it to review the main points later, or follow along and whenever you think I say something worth sharing, simply click to send a tweet. You don’t even need to put down your sandwich.
- Want to change something? Go nuts! Edit and tweak as you like. They’re your tweets, after all!
- I’ve included the event hashtag to make things easy but feel free to add your own.
- Don’t want to tweet? That’s fine too. Tweet all, some or none at all.
Ready? Let’s go!
