Yesterday, I gave a presentation in Tempe, AZ to Agencyside , a conference of advertising and PR agency owners. I emphasized that to remain relevant, agencies must differentiate themselves by providing advanced social media services, not just the basics. The game is going to change in a big way very soon.

Finding Your Influencers As noted in the study, the notion of true 1:1 marketing via social media is a bit of a fallacy.
