The Social Media Playbook. Useful in a 140 Character World?
Has anyone else noticed an abundance of Social Media Guidelines and books being sent around lately? I feel like I’ve received a ton this week. Razorfish released their Fluent Report. 360i put one out. I really want to read these. I do. (I’m halfway through the Razorfish one and it’s awesome.) These companies know what they’re talking about and have teams of extremely smart people pulling together ideas to share and make the industry a better place. But, in a… Continue Reading

They say the neon lights are bright On Broadway
One of the greatest parts about seeing a Broadway show is the immediate connection that you feel to the cast. Look at how many young fans wait eagerly outside the stage door of their favorite show hoping to catch a glimpse of the leading lady or actor or grab a quick photo and autograph of the Playbill. I’ve been a theater buff since my first performance in 6th grade as Lucy in “You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown.” My parents… Continue Reading

Fan Me on Email
I received this email from Johnnie Walker (I’m a member of “The Striding Man Society” that offers some really great events for tastings of the brand-if you get the chance, go!) I get emails from them ever so often about new events or promotions and click on them at leisure to see if anything fun is coming up. This email today was different. They were letting me know that Johnnie Walker has created a Facebook Fan Page and offered an… Continue Reading

Recap: The Future of Media Panel
I just returned from the Future of Media Panel hosted by I Want Media at NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. If you missed it, check out the livestream here. It was interesting this year compared to last, which is a true testament to how things have changed in the media world.. Last year’s panelists included more of a traditional set including Michael Wolff from Vanity Fair, Erick Schonfeld from TechCrunch and David Carr from The New York Times. (There… Continue Reading

Social Media-the new corporate website?
Adam Ostrow at Mashable has a great post about whether or not social media is hurting or helping corporate websites. Current brands, Vitamin Water is the example in the post, are sending fans and users to social sites like Facebook or MySpace to engage with a campaign versus the traditional corporate website. The benefits of sending to social sites are obvious including more interaction and an easier way to gather a group of users interested in your brand versus sending… Continue Reading

Dos Equis today launched the second part of a campaign in search of the “Most Interesting Man in the World” to the entire U.S. Basically, tying the fact that if you drink Dos Equis, you’ll become interesting or even MORE interesting than you already are. (I know that’ probably not possible for some of you.) According to MediaPost, “two months ago, Dos Equis introduced its “Most Interesting Man in the World” to the entire U.S. via an expanded national advertising… Continue Reading

Your online identity—add to it!
Everyone has their online identity. You have a website. You have your blog. Your LinkedIn. Twitter. Facebook. You build these networks and pages out to form “Who you are.” But, having one of these “things” does not classify who you are as a person. If you’re on Twitter, it doesn’t mean you necessarily have “quick thoughts”, if you’re on LinkedIn it doesn’t necessarily mean you are all about networking for your career. Or, at least I hope it doesn’t. There… Continue Reading
