New Media Atlanta Speaker: Chris Brogan
Here’s another reason why I am super excited about the internet and social media. I found out about the New Media Atlanta Conference online while I was surfing the web. So why was one of my favorite people in the social media game right now, Chris Brogan, speaking? Because he’s great! At least I like his way of being very real when talking about social media. His book, Trust Agents, is a New York Times bestseller. In the book, he talks about how to be human from a distance. This is what I say too, you know, that one of the big points of social media is to just be social.
Anyway, I was bummed because by the time I found out about the conference in Atlanta, it had already started at 8:30 that same morning. But alas, here is why I love Web 2.0 and the internet and social media. Because of it, I don’t really have to miss anything! And you don’t either!The guys over at Run Level Media videoed his talk so I got to hear it today. I’m stoked simply because of the speed in which they put this info up and the way in which news can really bypass all the traditional ways that we have depended upon in the past. So I didn’t have to wait (or hope) for a major newspaper or TV news to tell me what happened.
You can listen to the Chris Brogan Speaks at New Media Atlanta video, however, it is the full session and it is rather long. So here are a few tidbits that I got from listening:
- Although traditional marketing tools and tactics have not gone out of style, it is important that you answer the social media call
- Social Media shouldn’t be easy, it’s not a magic bullet
- Start using social media tools and tacticts early like now rather than later; like job hunting, it’s easier to find a job when you have one
- Cultivate your database; fill it up with diverse contacts; if all your contacts are in your same industry then if it sinks you are in the same boat with people who can’t help because they are drowning too
- Very important – talk more about others than yourself in the social realm; connect people to others who will benefit them and freely share; it’ll all come back to you
Chris if very funny and interesting. For this very important conference though, I believe he toned down his language, somewhat. Atlanta is the South after all. We have to watch our manners. Be that as it may, he does know a lot about marketing and social media and he’s not afraid to share.
mobile marketing would certainly open new demands for productsi intended for mobile applications.,:-
