This one goes for almost an hour long, I’d suggest putting it on in the background and doing something else on your computer (or download it in iTunes and listen in your car).
I don’t sell on my blog usually, I think that’s tacky, but there comes a time when one must reach out to their community and ask for help. And I may not necessarily be able to help you or your company, but if you know of someone you think that could use my services, please let them know.
Any way you can help spread the word I’d very much appreciate it!
In episode 3 of the Marketing Revolution Podcast I talk to Taron Cochrane (@taron_cochrane), the self proclaimed “music fanatic” is the creative marketing and promotions manager of the Regina Symphony Orchestra (RSO). Taron loves music, it’s his passion and just talking to him for a few minutes you can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice, music is a major part of his life. Other than working for the RSO Taron also is a freelance writer for the Leaderpost, Horizon’s magazine and also is a graphic designer. See Taron’s Website.

Until businesses start seeing their bottom line increasing because of a new “app” it’s still a shinny new tool in the toolbox.
At this point apps don’t turn me on, Google does.

1. Most Businesses treat Facebook wrong Simply hosting a contest on Facebook doesn’t cut it anymore. People are finding that after the contest is over they don’t understand how to interact with the community they’ve developed. Inevitably they continue to push their “company news” as updates on their Facebook page because someone in the marketing department thought it was a “good idea”. Eventually people see the meaningless one-way communication and quickly find the ‘Unlike’ button.
