Our friends at Mashable today reported the results of some VERY preliminary research on the new Facebook timeline and its’ impact on brand pages. The upshot? The timeline gives brands a 46% lift in engagement. It’s early folks, and the survey sample cited in the research was very small so let’s not get carried away. But, the research indicated that engagement with videos and photos has actually increased by 65%. In the new timeline, images are much larger, so researchers
I came across a brilliant article online at Forbes.com today – The Myth of Social Media Tactics versus the Reality of Social Business Strategies…. Right on, right on, right on.

Every now and then you come across advice that is just so darn right that you have to share it with the world. So, that’s what I’m doing here. Kim Kadlec, the worldwide VP of marketing at Johnson & Johnson shared her views the other day at the OMMA Global conference…. She talks about the need to “shift from reach and frequency to reach and relationships if we want to engage consumers. Marketers and agencies need to connect
In the beginning, when social media was young, it was important to get followers and fans. Remember Ashton Kutcher’s race to get to 1 million followers on Twitter…? The idea was that you would acquire as many fans and followers as you could, you’d tweet messages out to them, post to your Facebook page, and your fans and followers would somehow interact with you. They might “like” your Facebook post, maybe post a comment to your wall, or re-tweet
