“I believe in a thing called social media marketing. I believe in building relationships, having a conversation, and telling a unique story. I believe that marketing 101 still applies, but that our new path is still being blazed. I believe in integration, in bringing it full circle for your customers. I believe in the power of a brand, especially if that brand talks back. I believe in the importance of hanging out with your audience where they are. I believe in ambient, guerilla, and traditional word of mouth. I believe in the power of an idea, in a small spark before the ignition. I believe in the power of believing in something, and this, this social media thing, is what I believe in.”
