SPOS #120 – Selling Social Media To The C-Suite

Welcome to episode #120 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. Lots of exciting stuff happened this week including the launch of Google‘s web browser called, Chrome (me likes). We have some great audio comments from New Zealand and Denmark (as well as the U.S.). I’d also love for you to take part in my little project – The Best Practices In Social Media Marketing Writing Project. We also take a look at what it takes to sell Social Media up to the leaders in an organization. Enjoy the conversation…
