Common Mistakes on Social Media Marketing

Russell Stevens (Social Marketing Expert and Partner, Saddle River Group)


Russell talks about how companies or organizations often start with looking for an influencer or celebrity first and then try and get them interested in what they are doing. He discusses how it needs to be the other way around; you have to find the person who has a real passion about the project already and then create the campaign jointly with them.
