Social Media: Year in Review for 2009
- Social Media is about sharing experiences and stories and not always the individual
- Communities and the people around us, define who we think we are
- It’s not about technology, it’s about people: blended with comms, marketing, research and story
- Business outcomes are paramount, measurement is key, communication/community are core
- Make it meaningful: Man Week was an amazing experience to share something like that with everyone.
What I’m proud of
- I fucked up/failed every day
- Help build Switched On Media’s first Social Media business, recruited the very talented Hannah Law
- Spoke at over 15 industry events, conferences and seminars
- Blogged ranked #26 for AU mktg/ad blogs, #5 in under 27 mktg blogs globally
- Met so many amazing people, had even more amazing conversations
