Social Media
The social network. It’s not just for 'celebrity' influencers. For business, it’s serious. The astonishing fact is that the higher a person’s position in a company today, the more time they're spending on business-related social media.* It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee. The convention is on. Be there, or be square.
”Over the past 60 years, marketing has moved from being product-centric (Marketing 1.0) to being consumer-centric (Marketing 2.0). Today we see marketing as transforming once again in response to the new dynamics in the environment. We see companies expanding their focus from products to consumers to humankind issues. Marketing 3.0 is the stage when companies shift from consumer-centricity to human-centricity and where profitability is balanced with corporate responsibility.

The power of blogging
“No matter what, the very first piece of social media real estate I’d start with is a blog.”
Chris Brogan
Every business needs a website with a blog component where fresh, socially-valuable, SEO-powerful content is frequently posted. Call it “news” or whatever you like, but content is king in the competition for higher visibility, greater credibility, more effective social promotion, and superior performance in search engine results.
The power of newsletters
“If you don’t like the news, go out and make some of your own.”
Wes Nisker
Engaging newsletters help a business to remain top-of-mind with customers, prospects, and interested parties. How do newsletters fit into the social media picture? With behavioural tracking for real-time measurement, a worthy newsletter is not just measurable but more likely to be shared around.
The power of commentary
The mutualisation of social media demands participation. Make a connection. Join a conversation. Contribute. Share.
“You are what you share.”
