Getting Social with the Social Media Club

A busy day.

My new BFF (@cpcube) just posted an article about how company’s may or may not use interns in their Social Media campaigns.

I may or may not be mentioned in her post, so you’ll just have to click and read won’t you?!

Your Company’s Social Media: A Job for the Intern?

To Blog or Not To Blog

Quoted in a Recent Mashable Article

Good afternoon.

Thanks for stopping by (Mom).

I was recently contacted about companies who use interns in their social media campaigns and how they go about selecting the few, the chosen, the coffee gophers… the interns.

Why I Love Marketing

This is why I love marketing.

Are You Talking To Me

I just put Sopranos season 1 in the Netflix cue.

I know, I know… what’s taken me so long to watch one of the most highly acclaimed television series in recent times?  I blame my kids… and my mother.

I’ve always had this voyeuristic love of the mafia.  The community, the passion, the cement shoes.  And the term, organized crime, almost has a pleasant ring to it.

So, Tony Soprano is coming for dinner.  Ayyyy, Ohhh!

What I Like

Guten tag.

What do I like? I like complex simplicity. Like a Cinnabon.

More importantly, what I like about brands that “get it.”

Zappos

I live deep in the woods.  A city boy turned wanna-be mountain man.  A good pair of trail running shoes is on the get list.  I cued up Zappos.com to have a look around.  I have purchased from Zappos before, so I’m familiar with their services.

My Zappos present: Boots Made for Awesome

So back to my trail shoes…

I went to Zappos /Men’s Shoes and found the category, “Trail Runners.”  Once inside this category I made a quick visual inventory of the shoes that interested me and then clicked on the pairs I liked.

What I like about Zappos is their clean, simple approach to e-commerce. I have the ability to chat live with a customer service rep, share my purchase with my facebook or twitter fans as well as this cool product badge “if” I wanted to blog about the shoes.  And should any of my family or friends who see this might feel inclined to purchase as a token of their love and affection.
