LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Transamerica Retirement Services will host a webinar for third party administrators and financial advisors entitled “Social Media 101: Who, What and Why.” The webinar will highlight how retirement plan industry professionals can use social media in marketing to and communicating with their targeted audiences.

The webinar will focus on how retirement plan industry professionals can best work with social media to help build their business. Transamerica is hosting the webinar because of feedback received during recent listening tours; many retirement plan professionals expressed great interest in engaging with clients through social media to build a larger online presence for themselves and their companies.

“There’s a tremendous amount of interest and curiosity around social media as a tool to provide important outreach to clients, and possibly prospects, but also a lot of confusion as how to engage,” said Stig Nybo, president of Transamerica Retirement Services. “Transamerica is excited to be able to help our business partners, TPAs and financial advisors better understand this emerging opportunity. We look forward to hosting this webinar and providing insight into how to harness the power of social media.”
