AFP to lead social media, web seminar for Augusta Health Community Forum

Chris Graham

AFP principal Chris Graham will lead a Jan. 23 seminar on social media and web marketing being sponsored by the Augusta Health Community Health Forum.

The seminar – Building the Machine – will be offered from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Virginia Regional Transit/CATS building, 51 Ivy Ridge Lane, Fishersville.

The $25 fee for the seminar includes a boxed lunch that will be provided for participants.

Graham is the co-founder of Augusta Free Press LLC, which was founded in 2002 and publishes the daily news website AugustaFreePress.com, which draws more than 110,000 unique visitors and 1 million page views per month. The company’s print magazine, The New Dominion Magazine, has won five Virginia Press Association magazine awards.

AFP serves as the marketing arm for the Los Angeles, Calif.,-based Awesome Wrestling Entertainment, and was responsible for that company’s social-media campaign that built a base of more than 125,000 Facebook fans for the AWE product.

Augusta Free Press also serves as the marketing agency for the Waynesboro YMCA, where AFP’s efforts include the design and maintenance of the Y website, WaynesboroYMCA.com, and writing, design and publishing of the Y Magazine, a three-times-a-year publication distributed to Y members that is also made available at more than 50 locations in the Greater Augusta area.
