Social Media Thought Leaders Worth Meeting

Jan Moen and Wendy Soucie with Trust Agent - Chris Brogan

The Bucket List
I found a bucket list of sorts that I made three years ago when I decided to launch my social media strategy consultancy. It consisted of several people I wanted to meet because I thought they would enrich my life both professionally and personally. They are also some cool people to meet on any level. I also had several things I wanted to do along with that.   I actually made some very strategic plans and took action on them to accomplish the meetings that I did.  I am happy to share both the bucket list and my social media heroes.

I would really need to ask my friends about the “geeky” part. I also question the record or CD highlight.  I don’t often mention music so curious where that comes from.

Brazen Careerist- Career Infographic

I am much more of a player on LinkedIn so it would be nice if they created an infographic with that space as well.  Recently Brazen Careerist created a Infographic tool that combined Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and generates a infographic from that.  Much better I think since you have a balance between different social networks.

The social media strategy question: To build a social media strategy, or suffer the confusion of mindless tactical efforts,  that is the question.

Over the past two years there has been a lot of education happening on social media – books, webinars, live presentations, videos, and podcasts. In the business to business (B2B) space, the education seems to be taking a longer learning curve. Not because there is more to learn, but because the businesses say they are looking at more proof of concept examples (and ROI). Social media strategy, content strategy and action plans are used interchangeably, but should they be? Are you confused over these terms yourself? [Read more...]

Caterpillar Interview with Brian Stokoe – Part 1

Caterpillar Inc recently purchased a long time Wisconsin-based company, Bucyrus International. Wondering if social media has begun to extend into this B2B space of heavy duty coal mining equipment and since Bucyrus was  a past client of mine, I sent a tweet. That led to an investigation of Caterpillar and what they were doing in the social space.  Since I am not one to let a sleeping dog lie, what started as a quick tweet to see who was listening at Caterpillar, turned into a Q & A session with the newly named Caterpillar social media program manager, Brian R. Stokoe (BRS), plus an hour long interview that we shall post. In the meantime, let me share with you Brian Stokoe’s response to some of the questions I asked. [Read more...]
