Social Media Success Starts at the Top
Social Media
Most companies who are playing around with social media to boost their business need to understand that in order to be successful there needs to be a shift in mindset which starts at the top. It is even more important if you are just a local business because often you are the voice and personality of your business and a lot of people make the mistake of just leaving the social marketing to one of their employees.
In order to make social media work for you it needs to come from the top and become part of the leadership and vision of the company. You need to strive for a culture of transparency and openness that is perfectly aligned with the message you are trying to deliver…

Twitter Eye TV Partnerships in 2010
Follow JJ Currie on Twitter
According to reports Robin Sloan the former media strategist of Current TV will now be working for Twitter. His main role will be to handle all media partnerships with a range of organisations from popular web channels to huge TV networks. Twitter want to incorporate live feeds next to the live shows.
By doing this they will be able to tap into the profitable advertising revenue generated through TV. In many ways it is a perfect synergy because the TV networks will get realtime feedback and the advertisers will get highly focused and targeted placements.
Another factor which will help companies take the plunge into social media is that every campaign can be tracked, optimised and improved. Twitter has already started to feature in Google’s Local search when the user is signed into their Gmail account.
If Twitter can pull this off it will become the centre of all marketing activities online and on TV.
- Are you on twitter yet?
- If not why not?
