thunder::tech hosts first social media breakfast forum

posted by Public Relations

This morning, thunder::tech hosted a small group of friends for our first breakfast forum to discuss current topics and trends in social media. Led by thunder::tech team members from the public relations team, account management team and development team, the discussion covered lessons we’ve learned in social media and what we can all expect in 2010.

Here are some of the ideas we covered this morning::

• Social media marketing will operate around the clock
  • Consumers are engaged with brands at all hours of the day. Marketers and brand managers will need to adjust their thinking and their response times to quickly engage their publics
    
• Geosocial networking will become increasingly popular 
  • Geosocial networking, including games like FourSquare, will play a larger role in social media. It will be important for organizations to understand the impact and real-time effect of these networks.
    
• The relationship between social media and SEO will continue to play an important role in both SEO strategy and online public relations
  • Social media and SEO have a mutually beneficial relationship. A smart marketer will work with both social media experts and search marketers to combine their efforts for an effective online communications strategy.

We also enjoyed the discussion, questions and ideas our guest shared with us as well. John, from Oberlin College, shared with us this funny clip from Louis CK’s visit to Late Night with Conan O’Brien and our society’s changing perceptions of technology. Enjoy!
