Community strategy, management of the ecosystem and paying attention to social media conversations online is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s an imperative for doing business today, for brand management or for building your own personal brand.
Today’s hosts: Steve Borsch,Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins, Phil Wilson, Garrick Van Buren
Connie Bensen is a woman who is completely engaged in the social media world and has turned it into a thought leadership position as well as career. She’s not only connected with other social media leaders who are geographically disbursed around the globe, but she’s also involved representing social media analytics company Techrigy…and all from her home 4.5 hours north of the Twin Cities! Who said outstate Minnesota people aren’t connected and fully engaged in the 21st century communications revolution!

Glad to see the promotion of ones blog as the central hub for ones personal brand. Something I’ve been preaching for almost ever. As I’ve watched many of my blog feeds go silent my thought has usually been “What are they thinking”. Spreading your brand across all the social objects is probably good from a promotional standpoint but the brand (you) needs a home. And some of us don’t want to chase a brand (you) all over the net as some new widget gets popular.

Thanks guys for inviting me to join the Minnov8 crew for a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning.
Thank you for promoting Minnesota & what we have happening here (and for acknowledging that there is life north of Brainerd!
)
