In case you missed it Silicon Prairie News was kind enough to run a video on their 5 in 5 about our Hilton Omaha blog! As a follower of Silicon Prairie News I was super excited to contribute!
The video kicked off our 3 days of 1st Annual BIG O! Trick-or-Tweet, a BIG THANK YOU to our sponsors and to our Twitter followers for making it so successful AND marks the beginning of our new series beginning on Monday.
We also have some new and exciting feature for this second leg of our journey – video! I will be documenting my trips out and about with video and more pictures, telling the whole story! But before I sign off until Monday I wanted to give a “write out”? (shout out) to a couple of folks that have inspired the way we are presenting our second round. (And somewhere, in the distance a bell rings)
Over the past 9 months I have been afforded awesome opportunities to meet people through Twitter. Most often these organic experiences begin with a simple phrase: Looking for a hotel in Omaha.
As we began talking about how Hilton Omaha has utilized social media, Stephen pulled out his film camera and started recording our conversation. It then hit me, to get the greatest exposure of Omaha we need to allow folks to really see what we see! From that conversation the idea of Hilton Omaha blog video was conceived. But it doesn’t stop there…. As luck would have it that very same day I met Joe Frost and after giving him my “I’m not a tech person” speech he told me how to add video to our blog! Perfect – and now here we are beginning the second session of the Hilton Omaha blog with our new enhancements! (PS Joe is a social media concierge, social enterpreneur enthusiast, and he can be found at ELIFY.)
I hope y’all enjoy the blog as much as I do writing it. If you have any suggestions for fun winter things to do in Omaha send them to me! I love to hear from you! brooke.ossenkop@hilton.com or comment on the blog.
Have a great {SUNNY!} weekend and I’ll see you right here on Monday!
