Hi CGR! I’m glad that you like the article. Unfortunately, there’s no surefire way to convince anyone of where they should focus their efforts and dollars. Marketing and PR are realms that are changing so quickly it can be difficult to keep up. This was not the case for years and years. Some things you might try:

1. Showing the execs what their competitors are doing in these new spaces.
2. Slowly trying to mix in online efforts with traditional media efforts. If you can show the effectiveness/cost of A/B then you’ll turn heads faster than you can imagine.
3. Don’t give up! As social media becomes an ever more prevalent space the importance of having a presence in that space will slowly become obvious to stuffy late-adopters.

It sounds, honestly, like your latest marketing plan was actually just that. It might not fit by traditional terms but this is a quickly changing game and you are spot on to try to keep your company moving in a forward direction.

Stay strong!

I love this article. However, I am still trying to figure out how keep the executives from glossing over when I talk about moving marketing efforts away from the traditional tri-color brochure (which is expensive to print and impossible to update) to “showing off” the great accomplishments/outstanding services via social networks with real time information.

My latest marketing plan wasn’t really a marketing plan; it was a media relations plan that builds exposure in appropriate social networking outlets.

The response, well – lets just say, I was view as the dumb blond in the group.

Hi Tony thanks for reading! Currently Twitter does not offer the option to group anyone together at all, including your regular timeline or your Twitter favorites. However, all is not lost for you but you will need to turn to a 3rd party app. You should check out Tweetdeck. It will let you create and view different groups without having to change who or how you follow. Hope this helps!

I would like to know if there is a way to have only those tweet updates from people you are most interested in on a daily basis. Like just a certain group of favorites that will appear when you click on favorites with all the most recent tweets….I want to keep all I am following but would like to have a certain group I can pull up when I want.

Thanks
Tony
