Social Media
Focus groups are dead.
Observe your customers in their
native environment.
We’ve got lots to think about…
Advice for the road ahead…
Stop thinking like
an advertiser.
Start thinking like a
publisher and socializer.
Commit
to the new
inbound
strategy.
Don’t dip your
toe in the water.
Jump in ALL THE WAY.
