Social Media “hired gun”, Mike Ellis, will be the guest panelist for Saturday’s Coffee Talk on faith and technology.

In addition to hands on management of social media, Ellis advises businesses, organizations, and individuals on how to use social media and social networks to build relationships and deliver value. He has a long history of promotion and marketing experience. His clients include KXLY Radio Broadcast Group, KAPP- KVEW TV, Spokane Hoopfest, Rockwood Clinic and KXLY 4 News.

He says the key to effective social media is being positive and adds that he’s not a #SocialMedia guru or expert because he’s not finished learning.

You can reach him on Twitter @TheMikeEllis.

Join us for our next Coffee Talk at 10 a.m., March 1 for a discussion on “Faith & Technology” at Indaba Coffee.
