I think that social networking has changed so much of what people write and how they write, especially when they are getting immediate feedback from their followers. Adverstising agencies have definitely taken advantage of this social turn and have been using social networking as a way to reach a wide number of viewers. http://www.ratesadagency.com

Spin used to be able to make up for the difference. Not any more. Sadly there are still quite a few in denial. They’ll learn. They’ll have to, eh?

Thanks again.

Over and over. Don’t just talk the talk, walk the walk. (In business as in life.)

I think you might enjoy my blog post of a couple weeks ago:

Finally, one twist though… Brands have not lost *all* control. In fact, the better brands welcome the paradigm shift. Why? What’s their secret? It’s because they don’t just talk the talk, they walk it too.

For too long there were too many crappy companies that were able to make up for crap with marketing (and spin). Those days are gone, eh?

Pardon me if I just stated the obvious to the converted.

I tend to believe that brands never really did have control, but today it’s so much more readily apparent–and public. All the more reason to be authentic–as a brand and as an individual.
