Learning curves as steep as a wall. The impact of technology, especially the social tools, are changing the landscape of our lives, communities and commerce. \u00a0There is no doubt that the digital era is significantly shifting the marketplace across multiple functions forcing change to happen before success and sustainability can be experienced for any profession.\u00a0As digital marketers who have an early adoption mindset to new technologies, we are not only faced with our own learning curve, but we are tasked to help usher others to climb.<\/p>\n

Climbing steep learning curves while helping others tread uphill vertically is a challenge. Doing this in today\u2019s world where the rate of information darts at us faster than our Twitter feed scroll can be overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Although, with all of the data \u2013 from blog posts, slide decks, ebooks, webinars and podcasts available online, one would assume learning would be easy-peasy. However, as Jason Falls<\/strong> would say, \u201cThat\u2019s bullshit.\u201d \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em>And, from a recent post on today’s\u00a0online content<\/a><\/strong> from Tom Webster<\/strong>, there is a dark side to the information highway. In other words, the\u00a0enormous\u00a0mass of online content has its limits. As connected as we are in today’s social world, the\u00a0terabytes\u00a0of free content, readily available and conveniently accessible – as far as our smartphone is close – can leave us more disconnected and overwhelmed, leading us to more confusion and anxiety than ever.<\/p>\n

Best tool to help us as digital marketers and professional social experts? Face-to-face, social media events, like Explore<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I had the privilege to be an event correspondent, or corporate brand journalist<\/a><\/strong> for the past four conferences on Jason\u2019s\u00a0nationwide Explore tour.<\/a> The purpose of my role was to capture the rich content and report it live through social tools. The final event wrapped up in Portland<\/strong> and as I reflect on the expert sessions and conversations that followed from the networking opportunities, I have discovered 8 top takeaways I\u2019d like to share.<\/p>\n

The quality of content from the Explore speakers and their presentations throughout the two day conference could certainly exceed eight takeaways worthy of sharing, however, these are the takeaways that left an impression on me.\u00a0 With that, I\u2019ll kick off the first takeaway:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The market is talking. Don\u2019t interrupt with your brand blah blah. Listen first.\u00a0 \u00a0tweet this ><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

– <\/em>Malcolm De Leo<\/strong>, NetBase, @InnovationMuse<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Want to compete in today’s multi-screened, real-time marketplace? Brands must “be the media.”\u00a0 tweet this ><\/span><\/a><\/em><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The 24\/7 real time demand and response of social, called the Immediacy Era will be a game changer for brands.\u00a0 \u00a0tweet this ><\/span><\/a><\/em><\/h3>\n

“57% expect a response instantly when using social tech, according to the\u00a0Social Habit<\/a>.”\u00a0<\/em>– Tom Webster<\/strong>, Edison Research, @webby2001<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Truth still matters. Quantity still matters. \u00a0For the sake of credibility, learn how to balance the two to succeed in today\u2019s media. Please, no bullshit. \u00a0 \u00a0tweet this ><\/span><\/a><\/em><\/h3>\n

– Fireside Chat with B.J. Mendelson<\/a><\/strong>, Social Media is Bullshit<\/em> and Jason Falls<\/a><\/strong>, No Bullshit Social Media<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Communicate to your audience. Know what motivates them and speak in that language. Want to be taken serious in the boardroom? Stop trying to speak in tweets and retweets with your CEO.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0tweet this ><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

– Nichole Kelly<\/strong>, Social Media Explorer, @Nichole_Kelly<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Being\u00a0mediocre\u00a0is unawesome. Scott Stratten<\/a> is awesome.\u00a0\u00a0tweet this ><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Loyalty used to be about relationships. Today, loyalty is about useful information. Be a YOUtility. \u00a0tweet this ><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n

– Jay Baer<\/strong>, Convince and Convert, @jaybaer<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Humor, aesthetics and tech adoption can be a powerful differentiator for your brand. When in doubt, add an image of sharks.\u00a0\u00a0tweet this ><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n

– Tim Washer<\/strong>, Cisco, @timwasher<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ask anyone who attended the two day event in Portland, or any of the other event locations throughout the nationwide tour and they will confirm that Explore is chocked full of rich, cutting edge content from top tier digital experts representing some of the most successful brands. In addition to the content that edified our minds, the most valuable piece that I found from Explore was found in the true social networking and face to face community building opportunities.<\/p>\n

Want to take a glance of the year in review? Check out Explore on Pinterest<\/a>. <\/strong>Good times.<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event a rich exploration of social and digital marketing of 2012. Rock on with your awesomeness.\u00a0tweet this ><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
