7 Marketing Predictions For 2012 | Part 2 of 2

The Marketing Revolution Podcast

This is part two in the wonderful year end wrap-up.  If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s part one: “What We Learned About Social Media in 2011″

Want To Save $900?

Social Mention

I saw (and RT’d) an offer from The Phoenix Group to do a “Quick Social Media Analysis” for your company to the tune of $900.  At first I was happy!  “Finally, the biggest agency in Regina is doing more social media, YAAAA!”  White doves were released in the air and a small baby penguin was born.  Then I read on…
