Barkley Social Media Principles

#1: Them Not Us
The best advertising is not us talking about us. It’s other people talking
about us. Make conversations about the consumer first.

19
#2: Be Where The Consumers Are
Know where your target consumers congregate and converse.
Contribute to those communities and conversations.
