Review
As a business person, you may already know how to work a crowded room – now you must learn to extend your company sparkle and your brand across the Internet!
Often social media books are written outside the corporate walls, from pie-in-sky viewpoint of the visiting consultant, or solely with one corporate viewpoint or experience (or let’s face it, largely about the United States) . Eileen Brown’s varied experience and analysis of both the small and large businesses’ need for social media makes her advice stand out from the crowded field – and told in the lively voice those hearing her via social media channels and live audiences have come to know and love. As an IT evangelist for Microsoft she made technology approachable and engaging while winning an international readership – now she expands upon the business dynamics as well as the technologies businesses can use for success.
From the early advent of blogging to the use of social games for business aims, Brown takes the reader step by step through this complex subject. Whether promoting your own personal brand (remember to put your social network identities on your business card!) or being the spokesperson for a billion-dollar business (and having to contain PR backlash), business readers will find useful nuggets throughout.
