After seeing the education gap first hand between a "want" for social media and the benefit/investment in social media marketing, it was clear a company like Social Fresh was badly needed.

Social Fresh is now almost four years old, hosting 15 social media conferences, hosting hundreds of thousands of visitors a month online, and creating a massive library of free and paid online social media training options for marketers.
