Think of LinkedIn as a nuclear Rolodex with over 35 million users. It’s easy to use and has a ton word-of-mouth marketing power. As a social media tool, LinkedIn is useful for brand building, collaboration, group organization and business development. As with any new medium, the best way to learn and get comfortable is to just get in there and start using the network.
Mark Bradford and Rob Lambert of ChirpUp, a Chicago interactive marketing agency partner with Chicago Home Interior Pros (C.H.I.P.s).

I ChirpedUp for the first time a day (or two) too late. I’m so sorry I missed this, but I’ll be on the lookout for other relevant marketing events! Thanks.
