If your company doesn’t have a social media strategy in place, you’re getting left behind.

Just as websites were the new thing in the early 90s, social media platforms can be an effective communications medium for companies to get the word out about their products, services, the marketplace, and more.  And it’s working – journalists, analysts, and customers are taking notice.

How Social Media Can Help Humanize Your Company (And Much More)

Today, I gave a presentation InnoTech in San Antonio, entitled, Strategies for Leveraging Social Media & Web 2.0 Technologies.  I joined Giovanni Galucci, who lead the discussion.  You can read more about today's event in today's story in our local paper, the San Antonio Express News.

I focused on the notion that Social Media can help humanize your company.  By that, I mean it can put a real voice, a real face, and if you will - some personality on your company and your brand.

I also demonstrated how, through my this blog, and my other, 3Screens.net can really impact organic search results.

If you have any questions about the presentation, don't hesitate to contact me via email at: alan at weinkrantz dot com.
