This is a recap video about: Strategies that will work during these times on Social Media and Using your Network to Survive!

Travis Huff started working for the Walt Disney Company and ABC-30 Television after his graduation from the Craig School of Business at Fresno State.  He developed from a young energetic graduate into a seasoned media executive learning the TV Broadcast and Digital Media Business and working with brands like McDonald’s down to small local businesses to drive sales using advertising.  In June of 2009,  after a coffee with a friend revealed that in the future business owners would need Facebook Pages managed, he took that idea and Real-time Outsource was born. We’re now a social media management firm with clients worldwide mostly focused on English and Spanish speaking campaigns.
