Your Job is Marketing, Stop Denying it!

August 20, 2015 in Influencer Marketing, Non-Tech, Social Media

You can call it whatever you want: influencer relations, influencer marketing, evangelist, advocate, thought-leader, social/community manager, technical marketing engineer, etc. If the goal of your job is to educate non-customers in hopes that they will become customers, you’re marketing to them. Every time you ask someone with one of these titles what their role is I bet the answer either starts with or ends with “but I’m not marketing”. Why!? Marketing isn’t the problem, in fact if it wasn’t for marketing we probably wouldn’t have jobs. Why would customers even […]

Do You Need Manager Approval?

February 9, 2015 in Influencer Marketing, Non-Tech

Should anyone ever have to ask for manager approval for customer satisfaction? In my opinion, no. Have you ever been to a local retail store or restaurant and had a bad experience? Then the employee offers you a discount for that inconvenience, but first he has to get manager approval? Why is this? Why are employees trained in a way that anything above their job has to have approval? One of my first jobs was as a repair technician in a local IT shop. During one of the slow days […]

January 13, 2015 in Influencer Marketing

Let me start this by saying this blog is in no way meant to be an insult to traditional marketing nor am I saying that social marketing is better. In fact, if any traditional marketing folk are reading this I would be ecstatic to have your feedback. It seems the more I talk with others in the social marketing world, whether that’s influencer marking, evangelism, advocacy, digital marketing, etc., I often hear the same thing; “We would like to do more, we just don’t have the budget”. Why is that? […]

How Do You Get The Answers You Need

January 6, 2015 in Influencer Marketing, Non-Tech

This isn’t going to be a long post, but more of a unofficial poll. Feel free to also elaborate in the comment section as well! When you are facing a problem with a specific product, where do you go to get help? There are many ways to get the answers to your problems. You could visit the manufactures website, you could ask a friend, or you could simply Google the problem you are having and see what others have done to resolve it. However there are caveats to all those […]

Influencer, Advocate, Champion, or Ambassador – Does it Matter?

October 29, 2014 in Influencer Marketing, Non-Tech, Social Media

Influencer marketing is a hot topic right now among companies. There are so many theory’s around what algorithms we need to correlate social metrics into actual influence. Then once we find that magical formula, or at the very least a formula that gives a number we feel good about, what name do we call them? If we call them an advocate or an ambassador is it required that the content they are creating will always be positive? If we call them a champion does that mean they know everything there is to know about […]
