Social Media as Lead Generation
Why It’s Important to be Liked (on Social Media)
Social media has become one of those check-marked items companies know they need to have, but few understand why. For some, the battle for likes and followers has amounted to trying to best your competitors’ numbers, which really misses the point. Social media is about your connection with your followers—not your competitors’ connection with their followers.
Expectations of what social media can do…what does it mean to “go viral”?
When it comes to social media, where do so many unrealistic expectations come from? Agency folks and smart marketers all across the world share humorous and horror stories about the issue every day. Love when you put on your truth hat but…
Gender Differences in Social Media Usage
I don’t know very much about the book, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. I was five when it was published. However, even my five-year-old self didn't need a book like that to point out some very noticeable differences between the behaviors of males and those of females. Today, I spend a good deal of my time managing social media campaigns for a range of clients.

How to Strategically Adapt to Changes in Facebook Advertising
Social media juggernaut, Facebook, recently announced a change to the game of company advertisements on their site. The game changer…a little something called Sponsored Stories. These “stories” are unique offerings to companies in that they do not appear along with the usual text banner ads. Instead, these “Adverstories” appear just above the usual suspect text banner ads—in their own designated section labeled “Sponsored”. In addition to the sponsored story-ad, Facebook members will also be shown a list of any Friends they have who already “Like” the sponsored company or page. This is great for advertisers because it now allows a company to feature their page and show audiences friends who back up their brands with trustful “Likes”.
