The Web.Search.Social Podcast | Business, Online Marketing & Productivity

Grab a cup of coffee because we’re not fooling around today! We get serious about some sticky topics like thinking critically, “being yourself” online and issues of race in our current culture as we tackle Starbucks’ controversial “Race Together” campaign. Plus we talk about haters and why you should ignore them.

Yes, it’s all about business and marketing, and hopefully we’ll make you think a little harder about the bigger impact of what we say and do online.

It might be time to realign your thinking about marketing altogether. Here are a few things you may have been conditioned to believe about social marketing - some misconceptions and misperceptions that will do nothing but stand in the way of engaging in productive, lead-generating marketing.
