I’ve been pretty busy in the last few weeks, but rest assured that this thang ain’t dead. I’ll be back sharing thoughts and news about exciting projects I’m involved with in a little while, but until then I highly recommend you take at a look at the writings of one Paul Salamone, also known as […]

Short announcement for my German readers: I’m writing the official blog for this year’s BruttoSozialPreis, the biggest German student’s competition for social marketing. I’m guessing most of my readers will mistake “social marketing” for being about leveraging social media for marketing purposes - it’s not. Social marketing much rather refers to the application of marketing […]
