Metrics that Matter

There are so many types of ways to measure if a company is getting enough out of social media. Fans, Followers, Likes, etc. can be used, but are they actually important?

I tweeted this article already, but I loved it so much I wanted to add my own thoughts on!

I’m coming back!

I’ve been away for the past few months blogging on sharkmates, but I’ll be transitioning back to this blog for the time being. Hopefully things will be settling down as I get ready to graduate (!!!) and i’ll have more free time to blog about some of my favorite things: marketing, life, TV, etc. Check back in the next few days/weeks/months for new posts!
