Google+ First Impressions
Do I really want another social network? In order for Google to get enough market-share to support their shiny new platform they need a value-add proposition. What is it? I can speculate on what it might be, but is that enough? Google needs to tell us. Why should I spend time creating a new profile, inviting people, figuring out my circles. Why? What’s in it for me? Don’t make me spend time getting everything setup just right to figure it out. Tell us and we will come.

“He’s on LinkedIn, Lemon, he might as well be dead!” Alec Baldwin’s character declared in a recent episode of NBC’s 30Rock. When a sitcom actor says that about a piece of technology it’s a fair bet that it has probably jumped the shark. But don’t place LinkedIn, the business networking platform, on the coroner’s list [...]

The CFO is the new BFF of the Marketing Department!
In a recent meeting with the CFO of one of my clients he stated, “I always thought marketing was just this thing that we did with all the best intentions in the world, but Eric you keep spouting off numbers to me about lead conversions, cost per lead, source statistics, and all sorts of useful information. Those are numbers I can relate too, thanks.” Well, you are welcome Mr. CFO, now can I get more money?

Having lunch over the 4th of July weekend at Bubba’s BBQ (which I totally recommend if you ever visit this area) I overheard a conversation regarding a recent purchase and the desired upcoming purchase of a new horse. While I have no interest in owning a horse the conversation intrigued me as the three cowboys conversed on the pro’s and con’s of a fairly little known breeder in the area.

Social Marketing Framework (Part 4 of 5)
Our series continues with the third part of our social marketing framework: How social media execution can help accelerate our message.

Social Marketing Framework (Part 3 of 5)
