Social Media Edge Radio

What really works in Social Media Marketing? We used to talk about the noise in Social Media and now there is too much noise about the noise - it's noisy up in here! So, let's cut to the chase. The panel is only going to discuss news, tools and techniques that work today. You can expect to hear about: Repinning - how to get it and how to direct it back to you. Empire Avenue - missions to kill! (the competition) Twitter - why following back is a good thing to do and how to manage the noise. Google+ Hangouts - and how they bring value to the community which gives back to you. Now that's the kind of giving back a capitalist can sink their teeth into!
