Lee & Associates Principal Allen Buchanan has taken full advantage of everything social media has to offer. In the wake of the 2008 market crash, he explains, “it dawned on me that I needed to consistently create Twitter-friendly content that people could continue coming back to consume. I realized that Twitter users were much more likely to watch a short and informative video than they were to read a lengthy blog post.” Buchanan’s Twitter followers can expect a steady stream of bite-sized insights about CRE, as well as links to the latest in his Tuesday Traffic Tips video series.
