Your Job is Marketing, Stop Denying it!

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

Influencer Marketing – What’s In It For You?

October 24, 2014 in Non-Tech, Social Media

Also EMC Elect nominations are open until December 31st. 🙂 Enjoy! photo: Since joining EMC in June, I have had numerous conversations with people on EMC’s influencer program EMCElect. Generally the conversations all start the same, “What are the EMC Elect and what do they get out of the […]
