Who’s in Charge of Social?

April 18, 2013 in Social Media

Seems like a simple question right? Aren’t we all in charge of social?  Out there building our personal brand and help establish brand credibility for the company we work for?  But, who’s that person in the background that implements a social strategy for your company, manages all the company social accounts, engages with customers in not only happy conversations but the bad ones as well?  Who is the person that is monitoring trends and exploring new tools? What about implementing social campaigns and analyzing the social metrics to provide the benefits of […]

Where Do I Engage

April 2, 2013 in Social Media

That is one of the most asked questions I hear from people starting their social journey.  There are dozens of social platforms to engage and connect with other people, but how do you use them?  Below is the way “I” see these platforms being used.  photo: greyweed Blogs Blogs in my opinion are generally used to inform.  Take it from the tech space, blogs are used to inform on the latest product enhancements, events, etc.  There isn’t a ton of engagement with readers, because it is usually on a very specific topic.

How to Create More Engaging Social Content: Step One, Understand Your Customer

March 11, 2013 in Social Media

February 6, 2013 in Non-Tech, Social Media

“You can’t put a price on friendship”, that’s what I remember being said to me when I was growing up.  Look we all know the end goal of any business is to make money, it’s all about the bottom line.  But can your social strategy be just to drive revenue?

Let’s take a look at the personal side of social media.  I’ll use twitter as an example, when I first started […]
