What Our Members Are Saying

If you are a social media professional being a member of an organization like SMMI is fundamental to your long-term growth in the social media industry both professionally and personally. SMMI not only is a central place for you to connect with other industry professionals, but being a member also opens the door for countless educational opportunities that help you to hone your craft and expand your worldview of social media outside of just your state, country, or region. It was because of SMMI that I am allowed to call myself an “International Keynote Speaker”, and that is something that I will always be grateful for.

It connects you to a community of social media professionals who you can learn from and who can support you. It also provides fantastic opportunities to learn from experts in the form of Masterclasses.

Institute membership is important as it not only gives you an incredible trusted network and resource but you know you are amongst true peers.

Since joining over two years ago I have met some incredible people who have not only been a huge support to me, but become my friends from all the over the world. Each having different strengths in different industries, they have played a key part in my success. Social media marketing can often be a lonely world trying to find those in your click, who "get it". I've found the relationships I've built in this network invaluable. It has been incredible to bounce ideas off different people, reach out to them when I need help and it's really been a humbling experience when others in the group reach out to me for guidance or advice. The SMMI will not only help you grow your skills, but will provide a network of people who want to help you succeed and will do what they can to help you achieve your goals.
