But is it?

One thing is for sure, it would seem that there is a lot of debate on the web and it would also appear that the term "Marketing" and "Social Media" are being used in the same sentence.

Question: Should they?

I would argue that if they are, then it is crap. I can say this because most of the "marketeers" that I know would wish that it did or still see it as an opportunity to do so.

I'm not a marketeer, never have been, but from what I can see Marketing stands for this: See a "channel" (an opportunity to be exposed to great numbers of people), go with a budget and create a "campaign", then calculate the "ROI", take the profit and do it again.

There is nothing wrong with this.]]></description>

I grew up in a small town in Surrey.
On the main road into town, there was a night club set back from the  road, with a large car park in front of it.
No matter what time of night or day of the week that I drove past the  club, the car park was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I'll come clean! smile These are not my words. They are the words of American marketeer, John Reese.

I thought they would prompt an interesting discussion! smile

Here is my response:

What this guy has said is the same as going into London and saying "isn't it noisy!". Yes, it is!

But it is where all the action is happening, where all the movers and shakers hang out, where deals are done, where people are connecting, where people are talking about you, your product or service. On that basis, I would want to be there.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the sixth in my series of blogs dealing with Social Media Misconceptions.
Today's is titled: Revolution not evolution.

Is social media revolution not evolution then?

No.

Why should it be?

If we break down the term "social media", it is the act of sharing in a social manner. As stated in a previous blog, we can trace this back 14,000 years to when early man shared advice on how to bring down wild game by painting on a cave wall.]]></description>
