PartnerCentric is sending representatives to two social media trade shows this week. Social Media: The Marketing Summit takes place Oct. 1-2 in San Francisco, and Affiliate Summit 2008 Social Media takes place Oct. 5 in New York City.

"Social media is the new frontier, and as a company we're committed to gathering the tactics and technologies that will enable us to guide our clients to a winning strategy with respect to social media marketing," said PartnerCentric President Linda Woods. "We look forward to hearing what others are doing to bring social media management into the marketing mix for all clients."

PartnerCentric's Social Media Management services enables companies to outsource the day-to-day operations and the long-term strategic planning of their presence on social media sites to the experts in Internet and social media marketing.

"Our social media managers help you build a presence on all the major social media sites while protecting your brand," Woods said. "Part of that protection comes from getting out the word about your company and its products and services while responding to customer feedback. The other part involves ensuring you are competitive in this new marketing arena. Your future customers are on social media sites - and we help you connect with them."
