How is the marketing campaign going Geoff?

Great, so far we have used two thirds of our budgets and places adverts everywhere we could find, and our viral marketing campaign is really getting some traction on twitter.

Sounds great! So what do this mean in practice? What's the bottom line Geoff?

Well our estimates are that our adverts have been seen by three million SOE (or sets of eyes) which we have estimated of which 80% will now be brand aware and 40% will have us as a brand preference. Research from our sales data shoes that about 1 in 10 brand preference customers will use our stores, leading to an increase in sales of approximately 150,000 extra sales.

Great work! And what was that you said about twitter?

Oh well well our online social marketing campaign is really ramping up with customer interactions up by 500 instances per day. Twitter users are generally trend leaders and early adopters so gaining their support is key to succeeding in this market.

Great work everyone!

Listen, I'm not the only bright eyed JC dropout turned "self-educated" media master you've met in these interviews today. I know this.
But I have something other media experts don't bring to the table.
It was more or less the birth of this viral gag reaction internet we know today. It's a real quiet giant, an ace up the sleeve.
It's like having the freemasons of the internet as a core audience, every member of which brings their own savvy and following along with them.
Can't tell you where, the beauty is in the secret, but I can say... if you hire me, this company is protected

I'm leading a steering committee on setting up a new internal social media network for employees. Despite having $500k to spend on this and sending out weekly status updates to the entire company, the IT guys just work in gyra, the sales guys are all 50 year old smokers with trucker tans, and the office staff are mostly worried that they'll have to have their security badge pic on it.

I could afford to pay for sex but I'm so disgusted with myself I cannot imagine the touch of another feeling good. I live in America.

This was literally me when I was the "social media manager." Just throw some numbers out and hope your boss was as technology incompetent as mine. I'm pretty sure I could have said something like "Well the data flux is showing an increase in online profiles per modem cycle so the bottom line is we should expect an increase in the online manifold. Basically, this is a huge success!" and he would have bought it.

You said the word "slack" to me and I broke down. Sobbing, tears and mucous running down my face. I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry about a lot of things. You asked, once, if I had Facebook. I said I "didn't do" social media at home. You wonder what I know. You wonder if you should know it. You're happy. I envy that.

Just do it like all the other tech companies here in orlando: pick one of your employees (that are all 1099s that you pay $18k/year and expect to work 40hrs/week, even harassing the poor design girl to drop out of college so she can dedicate more unpaid hours to your lovely company), and just add it on to their already crushing responsibility load.

I am the social media guy. I sit in an office and you are not certain what I do. Sometimes I speak, enthusiastically, at meetings, about Twitter. There is no light in my eyes. There is no life in my eyes. I am the social media guy. I am 25. I look 35. I am tired. So tired. I am the social media guy. I know my job is fake. You know my job is fake. My bosses know my job is fake. Why don't they fire me? Why am I here? Nothing I do is quantifiable. It is superstition. I am the social media guy. A totem, an offering to new media by desperate men. My purpose is abstract. You never see me do anything. I am always on my phone. Is it my job? I am the social media guy. One day, I will be gone. Nothing will change.

Hello, I am the PR representative of your company, but I am really just a glorified blogger who runs your company's Twitter. I am well into adulthood, but I still act (and post) like I'm in high school. I cannot do anything, including my job, without injecting my childish personal politics into it, and I constantly get into arguments online using your company's profiles. Any time someone complains about your company, its products, or my conduct, I respond with the kind of immaturity that would make a normal adult wince in embarrassment.

Eventually, my immaturity and terrible judgement will lead to my very public firing. Despite a small group of emasculated Internet losers trying to make a big deal out of this, I will be easily replaced and forgotten.

OP, you should get your social media professional certification, you can't just half rear end this stuff on the internets, that's how you get half-baked memes and such like. Make sure to get a respectable, professional certification, so that you can be professionally certified. the good certifications come with a link and a badge, you see, like this. We can't let just any old college intern with a smartphone send those tweets!
