Richard Branson’s Tweet Scored An 18-Year-Old's Startup $1 Million In Funding

We'll discuss in class on Tuesday.

Last year, eighteen year-old Stacey Ferreira saw the following tweet by Richard Branson:

Enjoy intimate cocktails with me in Miami on June 15th - $2,000 to charity.For details email: Community.investment@fly.virgin.com

Even though Ferreira was too young to accept a cocktail she decided to jump at the chance to meet her idol and soak up as much knowledge as possible.

From Beverly...

Thanks for visiting Teaching Social Media at UCLA!

I have been teaching Marketing classes for the UCLA Extension since 2001. I love sharing the knowledge and passion I have for Marketing and Technology with the business community. I want to thank Karl Kasca, who's been my co-instructor since 2003, for the marketing and research expertise he brings to the classes as well. In addition to co-teaching Social Media, Karl teaches New Media and I teach Global Marketing for the Extension as well.

In addition to teaching, I am Host of Social Media Radio; the co-author of The Power of Real-Time Social Media Marketing; and a contributor to The Huffington Post.I also speak on industry panels, keynote for professional organizations, and am an accredited business writer.
