 Ryan T. Gowling

 My name is Ryan. I was born right outside of Washington in Potomac, MD. I began working for DC Workspaces in April 2014 while we began our expansion plan into the NoMa market.

Yesterday, April 16th, NOMA Workspaces hosted a lunch and learn with TaKeyia Monique, the Social Media Guru and Roti Mediterranean Grill in the Monument room.

Roti Mediterranean Grill provided delicious and nutritious samples of their signature dishes. Roti prides themselves on fresh organic ingredients and food that loves you back!

Roti can cater your next business meeting! Catering orders can be placed online or by phone 877-OMG-ROTI. Orders are preferred to be placed the day prior for best services and availability since food is prepared fresh daily.

Takeyia Monique, the Social Media Guru built her reputation on the "Get Social Program", which teaches individuals and businesses on how to expand their brand, make money, and have fun doing it.

TaKeyia's quick social tips:

1.) Connect: Focus your content and find your niche

2.) Engage: Know your audience and stay consistent

3.) Influence: Inspire others and be authentic

4.) Integrate: Repost, tag others, and position yourself to WIN!

TaKeyia encouraged everyone to focus on LinkedIn as their major social media outlet. Hashtags, reposts, and supporting those connected in your industry are the keys to gaining more followers, according to the social media guru. She encouraged us to have fun with hastags and not be too serious. TaKeyia said "Post a joke or a Throwback Thursday #tbt to keep things light and fun! Create your own company hashtag!"

Thanks again to Takeyia and Roti for hosting!

What is your company's hashtag?
