Comment on How to Develop a Social Media Strategy for Your Organization by Chris Davis

Great article. When a business just has the accounts set up but don’t have a strategy and engage, it’s like putting a small action figure of yourself in the middle of a networking conference and expecting people to notice you and do business with you. Yeah, that’s not going to happen.

And if I had a dime for every time I’ve heard business owners say, my intern or nephew is going to run that for me, I’d be a wealthy man.

What I face is trying to get CEO/business owners to understand this or even be interested in listening to an explanation of why this is so important.

When they won’t listen, they are setting themselves up for failure and when they do, the person in charge gets blamed.

Any suggestions?

Thank you Naz. Yeah, the tree came out well as all those contrasting colours were just in the right place at the right time! As for the underwear this, trust the Italians to come up with that

Comment on Why I love social media’s impact on the corporate world by David Connor

I can’t agree more with your sentiments about traditional PR companies stuck in the ‘pen & paper age’.

Not only do they not come close to understanding the complexity of the issues companies are now being forced to manage such as climate change, bio-diversity, CSR, ethics, transparency, human rights etc, they just don’t get or are prepared to learn how to effectively use social media.

Yes, there is still a need for tradtional ‘paper & pen’ communication routes but it’s getting smaller every day. Only communicators that embrace all routes to market will survive in the long run.

John McCann’s Irish steel cut oatmeal is definitely my staple during the Baha’i Fast, and many other times of the year, too. Yummy! Thank you, Irelend

Kat has been AMAZING with getting Zomppa’s website, strategic communications, and outreach – without her, we would not have made it to a year, but less have a viable site. She is the real deal – she knows social media. She knows communication. She knows how to get the word out effectively. Kat – you are a rarity!
