DESCRIPTION

Creating relationships with consumers should be the focus of every marketer’s social efforts.  But accomplishing that goal has been unattainable through banner ads and time-boxed campaigns.  This was a lunchtime workshop demonstrating models that work for marketers to develop relationships, for publishers to generate revenue, and for consumers to be excited to join in conversations with them.
