Talk Data to Me: Social Media Strategy & Compliance for the Mortgage Industry with ActiveComply [Episode 8]

Social media is changing the way that consumers act, think, and communicate faster than any other modern medium. Today’s consumers rely on social media for more than just staying in touch with friends and family. They depend on it to provide updates on the latest trends, alerts about breaking news, and insights to the people and businesses that they choose to work with. 

For today’s lenders that means keeping up with emerging social media marketing trends and connecting with the homebuyers of today is key to success. But, leveraging new and evolving media also comes with risk.

In this special episode of Talk Data to Me, we celebrate World Social Media Day (June 30th) with ActiveComply. Our discussions with Melissa Thomas and Gabriela Mendicino will help you navigate the challenges of social media marketing, find creative strategies to capture the attention of potential borrowers, and develop a personal and professional brand that sets you apart – all while staying compliant and protecting your brand reputation.
