2. Welcome to the social world...
• Welcome to the era of conversation
• Spin doesn’t work, people smell BS a mile away, and they tell their
friends (and everyone else) to avoid it
• Advertising isn’t eective anymore, no one is watching the ads and no
one cares
• People want to talk to people, not marketing and communications
professionals
• The Cluetrain is well on its way to the future, are you on it?

3. Social Media is tearing
down the walls that keep
us apart and changing
the rules that have kept
us from being human
inside our companies.
5. It’s not about pulling
levers getting results
Being social is a way of thinking
from which you can create new
opportunities to talk WITH your
audiences and get the cash
register ringing BECAUSE you are
being helpful and focused on
them, not yourself

It’s more art then science How do you use the brush?
19. Great Products aren’t
sold, they’re bought
“Advertising is the tax you
pay for mediocre products.”
