Every day the world sees
1 million new blog posts, tens of millions
of tweets, hundreds of millions of new
pieces of Facebook content, and more
than 1 billion YouTube videos.
Where does your brand fit in?
In our age of information saturation, con-
sumer attention is the scarcest commodity
of all—which makes your job tougher than ever.
How do you thread your messages through
billions of bite-sized information snapshots to
reach the right people? One thing’s for sure,
you’re not going to succeed using traditional
approaches. Mass marketing is dead; the next
big thing is indeed very small.
microMARKETING empowers you to rethink,
retool, and revitalize your marketing strategies
to take full advantage of the opportunities cre-
ated by the microcontent explosion. A pioneer
in the world of microcontent marketing, Greg
Verdino helps you create a strategy that
emphasizes relationships over reach, interac-
tion over interruption, and social networking
over broadcast networks. You’ll find the
answers to today’s toughest questions:
influencers and my core customers?
post, one video clip, or even one tweet
at a time?
mainstream media is losing ground to
consumer content creators and peer-
to-peer distribution?
$26.95 USD“Greg presents the greatest hits of social media marketing, a litany of stories designed to persuade you to
stop demanding the web conform to your desire for mass—and instead realize that mattering a lot to a few
people is worth far more than mattering just a little to everyone.”
