Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Ad Farm Live event held at their new offices in Sacramento. Jay Baer, a world-reowned social media strategy consultant and author of The Now Revolution, was the keynote speaker.
During the presentation the attendees were 'tweeting' up a storm. You can follow the conversation on Twitter with the hashtag of #AdFarmLive.
Here are a few of the top tips and top Tweets from Jay Baer's presentation.............
- If you're telling stories make it interesting by adding a personal touch using the people behind the story.
- It doesn't matter what industry you're in, if you're in social media, you're in the storytelling business, but don't forget to listen.
- Every customer is a reporter.
- Personal and professional worlds are colliding. Privacy is dead. Get used to it!
- The number of Facebook fans has no linear association with business success. It's all about interaction and engagement.
- Soon customers will demand social media.
- If you don't love social media, you s**k at social media.
- Now, social media is a job, tomorrow it will be a skill.
- To succeed in social media, you must create conversation
- Always be listening, always be responding, always be storytelling.
- Social media is about being social, about people. That's why "social" is an integral part of the name.
- Consistantly and quickly learn to say "thank you" and "I'm sorry" (business related).
After the presentation we took a tour of the new Ad Farm offices. Here's a view of the CA state capital out my friend, Katie Pinke's office......sweet, right?!
And after that, a few of us headed down to the Grange Restaurant for a drink....
