Frustration Overturned

August 25, 2011 ~ Lelia King ~ Leave a comment

It happened again. I overheard a seasoned communications professional say, "she's young, so she gets all that social media stuff." Seriously? I feel like a broken record - just because we have new communications tools (digital media, new media, social media...) doesn't mean that basic communications strategy has changed. And it's about much more than … Continue reading Frustration Overturned

The Autonomy of the Communications Strategy

October 14, 2010 ~ Lelia King ~ 3 Comments

I realized I've been focusing on the wrong question - What do I want … Continue reading Would you hire yourself?

I wanted to share today's story written by The Charlotte Observer's social media reporter, Eric Frazier. It's a great recap of a meeting of local social media minds that I attended yesterday - put on by Social Media Charlotte. Fittingly, the title of the presentation we saw was "Social Media ROI - Necessary, but not … Continue reading Social Media ROI

“Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.” Nobel Prize-Winner Albert Szent-Györgyi How well do you know your competition? How well do you know your customers?
