Social Geek: Twice Per Week!

Liane Caruso

Last week I took a leap forward with the Social Geek Radio podcast. I will be hosting TWO shows per week.

I have recently met so many interesting marketers and franchise industry pros with fascinating stories that one show per week just isn’t enough! And I have a few other people to thank for inspiring me to take Social Geek Radio Season Nine to the next level:

THANKS to my new team at Social Joey for feeding my brain with all kinds of new ideas that are ripe for podcast discussions. The founders of Social Joey remind me that the most important thing in any business is the serve your audience and customers. I hope I am providing some value to anyone who listens.

THANKS to the three smartest digital marketers I know: Mike McDowell, Liane Caruso, and Jim Buckley. These three keep me informed (and honest!) about the latest trends in social media, digital marketing, and franchise marketing.

Mike, Liane, and Jim will be a big part of the new Social Geek Radio as regular contributors, alias The Digital Marketing All-Stars. Any success I’ve had in life or business is due to surrounding myself with the best and brightest people. I could not be more fortunate to have such great friends who are willing to jump into these conversations and keep it fun.

Lastly, THANKS to Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook for always giving us something new and controversial to discuss.

Check out the latest show where we analyze last week’s Zuckerberg testimony and make some predictions on Facebook’s future!

The 3 Best Things I Heard at Google

SGR at Google
Social Geek Radio on the Wall at Google HQ!

Thanks to Google’s franchise team for hosting several Franchise brands, Google partners, and other marketers at last week’s Google International Franchise Assembly Summit.

We saw many fantastic presentations from Google at GIFA. Here are my 3 favorite speakers, along with a favorite quote:

  1. Monica Plaza, Consumer Surveys Head of Sales:
    “You Are Not Your Target Market.”
     .
  2. Gopi Kallayil, Chief Evangelist, Brand Marketing: 
    “Don’t be afraid to experiment in digital marketing!”
     .
  3. Todd Rowe, Director, Global Head of Channel Partnerships:
    “Are your industry’s emerging experts promoting YOUR brand? Or your competitor’s?”

For more on GIFA, tune in to Social Geek Radio Wednesday 5/20 at 8pm ET as Deb Evans and I welcome back Brandi Kloostra and Leah Stewart of Service Brands International to review everything GIFA!
