The Business Boys are reunited! After a short span of parental leave, and some vacation over the holidays, Tyler and Adam talk about the challenges of managing social communities. It’s something on the minds of clients, colleagues and the folks they meet at conferences. The conversation touches on a few different approaches to community management, and some stories from "the road" as they say.

Because it isn't always easy to find other social media professionals with whom to commiserate, the Business Boys have created an online community where we can come together, and share strategies and stories for working in social: the Social Media Support Group.

Thanks, as always, to the amazing team at Highlands Liquor for making this podcast possible.

Adverbians Erika Stark and Jackie Macdonald take over the pod this episode. The two digital content managers discuss their experiences with Imposter Syndrome, and how they're learning to trust themselves and the feedback they get. They might actually be good at this (editors note: they are both objectively VERY good at this)!

Business Boy Tyler isn't going to be on the pod for a while. That's because he and his wife are expecting sweet bébé to arrive presently. So, as a sort of farewell (for a month) to Tyler, the Business Boys discuss parental leave, what it means for the company, and how badly Tyler's wife needs a drink!

As social media strategists and managers, we see a lot of negativity and hate online. We try to ignore it because we feel like that's all we can do. We can't just get rid of it... can we? That's what Areto Labs is trying to solve. We speak with co-founder Kasey Machin about Areto's tech and approach to identifying and eliminating online hate.

Let it be known: we love Derek Hovinga from The Inbound Lab. Not just for his silky voice (which is like buttah), but also for his deep knowledge and passion for inbound marketing. We talk to Derek about all things inbound, content marketing and whether or not the death of SEO and email marketing have been greatly exaggerated. Marketing.

Adverb is hiring! The business boys chat about applying for jobs, and what's on the horizon for the company. They also chat about crisis communications in the context of the Valbella Fine Foods debacle. Finally, Instagram is on the ropes, and it seems like users are winning! It's a full pod to fill your brain!

For this special episode of Ask Adverb, we pulled the whole team together to tackle a problem. That problem was defined by a robot we found on the internet. That's right: ClientBot has a new product to sell, and we're their digital agency. Did we ask the right questions? Is the client lying to us about the safety of this strange new product? Is "Kiss From A Rose" an appropriate song to measure the length of time you should be brushing your teeth? Answers to these questions and more in our latest episode.

This episode is brought to you by Highlands Liquor. Conveniently located in the beautiful Highlands neighbourhood in Edmonton, the Highlands crew just expanded their space and selection. Check them out online at highlandsliquor.ca.

She's here, she's there, she's every-flippin'-where... her name's Jackie and she's the latest to join Team Adverb. Get to know Jackie in this latest episode of Ask Adverb. She's a marketing and communications veteran and she can sing*! AND you'll be hearing more from her (and our other team member, Erika) in the coming weeks.

It's a full house at Adverb Communications and we couldn't be happier!

*Note: there was no singing in this episode.
