Getting Connected on Social Media

The #GetJungoChallenge

We often have people ask where the name “Jungo” came from.  It is a variation of the Latin word “Iungo”(pronounced “Jungo” because the Latin language has no “J”) which means to join, connect, or bridge, and that is exactly what we do! We help businesses better connect to their current and prospective clients.  For the month of November, Jungo Solutions is challenging businesses to “Get Connected,” or as we like to say, “Get Jungo!”  Each day we will post a new challenge for your business to complete on social media to improve your business visibility.  Join us to Get Jungo!
