With the start of 2012, we all should review what #socialmedia actually is .. and is not.  Social Media is a very powerful tool in business especially when used properly as is the telephone and email.  However, we all can waste time on the phone, email, or on all the social media channels.  Despite being a presentation from 2009, I thought it was important to share this presentation with you: 

My favorite social network is actually:  email.  I know that sounds old fashioned but I do have several close circles that share jokes, posts that I should read and I'll be the first to admit that I scan my email before scanning my Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook.  My tightest circle of friends/fans/associates are the ones that I share emails with ..

However, sometimes someone shares something that is too good to not share with the broader world of social media and avid marketing practioners ... Here you go and it's pretty funny.

As a Marketing Gunslinger, I know the importance of clarity when creating the perfect marketing mesage ..

We need to be sure that our messages are clear, and audiences actually get it quickly .. So, Messages always should be:

C – Clear and to the point 

L – Limit the clutter and any extras that don’t need to be in the message

A - Accuracy

R – Reach your audience

I – Inform

Currently, I'm in Cozumel, Mexico with my boyfriend .. This is a personal story that I thought I would share with all those who read my blog ..

We all need continuing #Marketing education, so sharing the latest @CMO_Council video on Demand Generation and my takeaways ..
