What Happens When the Mega Personal Brand Leaves the Company?

Direct Marketing Observations

This past week something occurred that seems to have slipped by people rather quietly. Frank Eliason is leaving or has left Comcast. For those of you that have been dialed into social media for awhile, this is significant for a number of reasons and you’ll know why. The biggest reason is that we, the social media community lose our poster child/ case study of how one person with one tool/platform can transform how a company operates in the social media spectrum of customer service.

Apple’s iPhone 4 just can’t catch a break. Even though the iPhone 4 had record pre-orders and orders that ended in record sales and excellent initial reviews, recent media coverage has focused on the phone’s “death grip&# : a reception problem triggered by touching its antenna as pictured on the left.
