Annual #HolidayParty & Game Night at #FuquayCoworking. While not everyone could attend due to travel and other family events, we’re grateful for those who could. It’s truly our members that make Fuquay Coworking such a tight knit and collaborative environment that it has become over the last few years. We love each and every single one of you!
Congrats to our Co-Founder, James Wong (Empowered Ideas & Fuquay Coworking), on a well received Keynote presentation this morning for the North Carolina Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (NCPRSA). Mr. Wong’s presentation, entitled “Community Management 2.NEXT: Building ‘Online’ Communities of Tomorrow,” used INGRESS and GORUCK as shining examples of how organizations can bridge the gap between offline and online communities, and how brands can effectively empower their advocates.
