Using Social Media to Build a Better Brand
I had the distinct pleasure to hear Olivier Blanchard speak at Ungeeked Elite in Chicago…. (sorry, lead a discussion). And have had a number of great conversations with him in person and online since. In Chicago he spoke about Social Media ROI and his view on online strategy is very similar to mine (business strategy and objectives and basic marketing first!), so it was really cool to connect with someone like-minded and hear how they talk about it and think about it (for the same reason, I’m really looking forward to reading his book, Social Media ROI
