education series called “The Outrageous Advantage™.

Njenga explains, “We developed The Outrageous Advantage™ to help coaches, speakers, authors, artists and solo professionals create a specific and actionable social media marketing strategy with real, measurable results.”

Using a combination of marketing techniques, Hughey and Njenga use their combined 20 years of marketing and sales experience to help participants create a successful social media presence through targeted and strategic actions.

comments.  “Building visibility and credibility online requires an action plan, not a haphazard approach.” Hughey continued, “With a strategic plan in place, companies can expect to target and capture new clients that their advertising dollars aren’t getting them anymore.”

The Outrageous Advantage™ series includes over 15 marketing sessions, an online support group, MP3 files and presentation PDFs, Group Q&A sessions, individual coaching and guest speakers who present subject matter expert information.  Dubbed a social media education series, The Outrageous Advantage™ was developed as a step-by-step approach.  Participants will easily navigate an otherwise elusive and sometimes slippery process in constructing an online position, a meaningful social media message and a comprehensive strategy. Njenga remarks, “Instead of struggling to figure out the social media landscape alone, The Outrageous Advantage™ ensures participants steer clear of potentially costly mistakes that developing an online presence can create.”
