The Host’s Perspective:
This updated version of the New York Times bestseller beautifully explains how marketing in a social media world is not about broadcasting your message and getting the largest reach and frequency.
It’s about tapping into the conversation, listening, engaging, and empowering. The loudest, biggest spenders don’t win anymore. The smartest, most flexible listeners do.
The book includes 18 strategies to help you create an irresistible brand through online social channels to become more transparent, responsive, engaging and profitable.
New to social media? It also includes an appendix that is a primer on the most popular social media channels. If you want to get a handle on this week’s social media technicalities and minutia, this is not the book to read. But if you are a CEO, business manager or marketer who wants to gain a really solid strategic foundation for using social media to grow your organization and build your brand, read this book and you will rule!
