Social media agency Maximize Social Media LLC announced its social media marketing program today for nutritionists, providing marketing support for nutritionist practices nationwide. The firm will offer complete management of top social media platforms such as Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 08, 2012

Nutritionists have historically relied on word-of-mouth to generate leads among their client base. Social media is the ultimate word-of-mouth platform, giving nutritionists an opportunity to massively leverage their existing contacts. Additionally, clients may also now use social media as a platform to tell their friends and family about businesses, such as their nutritionist, said Craig Collins, Sr. Vice President of Maximize Social Media LLC.

Maximize will also optimize the Google Plus Local listing for local businesses to achieve Google page one ranking. This enables businesses like nutritionists to gain visibility in front of potential clients that are actively searching Google for the services in their local area.

Maximize Social Media provides full social media management services in over 50 different verticals. The agency will fully integrate all aspects of social media for businesses that will find it more affordable to outsource the management rather than hire additional staff. Maximize provides both ad management, which will allow the businesses to target specific demographics, as well as daily engagement by a dedicated social media manager.

Nutritionists as well as their advertising agencies are invited to contact Maximize Social Media for a no obligation consultation at:

HootSuite and its owl have flown into China, adding support for the countrys hottest Twitter-like service, Sina Weibo, in its social media dashboard. This could be of great use to many brands who need to use Sinas (NASDAQ:SINA - News) wildly popular Weibo for doing social marketing to Chinese consumers, as Sina Weibo still only has Chinese-language support on its site.

Along with the Sina Weibo rollout, HootSuite now also has support for traditional Chinese, as used in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and among many overseas Chinese. Hootsuite has been blocked in China for some time (it was a useful workaround for using Twitter, which got blocked way earlier, until Net Nanny slapped it down), but it doesnt really matter as local Weibo users and Chinese companies are not the target of this. The Weibo support is instead aimed at HootSuites paying customers, especially for its enterprise packages, which include major brands like Seagate and Pepsi.

HootSuite announced this on its blog yesterday, as spotted by TheNextWeb, and describe it as a mere first step into the Chinese market - next up is a simplified Chinese localization of the site (which is currently being crowdsourced). Theres now also a HootSuite Chinese presence on both Twitter and Weibo (see here and here) so that clients and users can better interact with the HootSuite team.

The Weibo integration extends to all the usual HootSuite features, such as posting text and images, Weibo searches, and analytics so that brands can better monitor how their posts are going down with Chinese consumers. Weve seen something similar come already from an Australian startup with its Hubblr site, which additionally supports Chinas facebook-esque Renren site.

Canada-based HootSuite has been busy in the region recently, adding a version for Indonesian a couple of months ago.

After so far doubling its sales this year, a Beltsville social marketing and software company looks to grow its workforce by more than 450 by years end.

Vocus plans to hire people in all areas, focusing on its sales and marketing and recruiting sectors, said CFO Steve Vintz. He said recruiting has taken on a larger strategic role at the company.

As more businesses turn to social marketing, their demand increases for software that can help them navigate web channels, like the ones Vocus offers, he said.

With a strong product in hand and a big marketing opportunity, were expanding our sales force, Vintz said. Our assets walk in and out of our door every day.

Vocus has been working with the countys Economic Development Corp. on both a career fair it held Thursday and the expansion, said Gwen McCall, president and CEO of the corporation. The corporation helped Vocus find its Beltsville location.

The county is extremely excited about Vocus, McCall said. Many of these are high-level positions with high salaries. Were excited about what this means for residents in Prince Georges as far as new jobs. Its definitely a win.

The company racked up a net loss of $16 million in the first half of the year, versus $2.6 million in the prior-year period, but revenues rose to $78.5 million from $55.5 million.

The company ranked 489th on Deloittes list of the nation's fastest-growing technology companies in 2011, along with 17 other Maryland businesses. Vocus saw 140 percent sales growth during the last five years. The company employs more than 1,200 people.

Part of Vocus growth this year comes from the 150 jobs connected with its acquisition in late February of iContact, a Raleigh, N.C., provider of email and social marketing software.

Vocus started its push for 450 new employees in the first quarter, Vintz said, adding that the company is well on its way of meeting its goal this year.

Explore, a touring social media and digital marketing conference, stops at Gothic Moon Studio in Orange on Thursday, Oct. 18.

Jason Falls is the 39-year-old CEO of the Social Media Explorer digital marketing agency, based in Louisville, Kentucky. Last year, the company held two social media events in Ohio and Massachusetts. Success in those test markets prompted SME to develop this year's Explore, a series of two-day conferences in five U.S. cities.

SME chose locations that were "underserved markets, where national events and speakers don't typically visit," explains Falls. Instead of Austin, they went to Dallas. They intentionally chose Orange County over Los Angeles, partnering with the LinkedOC networking community to organize the event.
