“I realize there are a lot of reasons why people don’t spend the time on social media even though they know they should.

There are also plenty of reasons why people don’t work out, quit smoking or stop eating too much. You know, reasons like: I’m too busy with more important stuff, I don’t know what to say, I don’t understand the tools, I don’t see the value, and my favorite excuse: social media is for kids.

In order to find the time for social media, you need to see why it’s important, how it will change your life, how it will improve your business.”

– Michael Brenner, VP, Marketing, SAP, author of B2B Marketing Insider and contributor to Forbes.

“I think these things [social networks] are going to have some legs, and yet there’s a faddishness, a faddish nature about anything that basically appeals to younger people.”

Steve Balmer, then CEO of Microsoft (Oct. 24, 2007)

Two weeks later, Microsoft invested $240M in Facebook

Social Media Starts with You

The Digital You is born when

you create a social media profile.

Community is born when you connect your profile to others.

Great social media is human.

@GothamWriters #SocialMedia Intensive

Except my mom...

Unless you are a Kardashian...

You will not be able to connect to all of them.

“You used to have to appeal to a mass market to get a label to give you a chance, to get a film deal, to get a book deal. Now you can kind of just go for it. And even if you don't demand an audience of tens of millions of people, you can go out and do it and reach your audience of like 100 people, 1,000 people or 200,000 people.”
