10 Ways Your Blog Can Provide Real Value to You, Your Organization and Your Brand

This free ebook will help you make a business case for your blog (and for other social media channels).

...who wants to take their blog from the experimental stage to having real-world impact - and real-world value...
...we have something for you.

Identify your most promising social media opportunities with the Concept Jam

The Concept Jam is a workshop-based methodology for identifying an organization’s most promising social media opportunities. It's the part of our work that we love the most, and that we think gives the greatest value to our clients. (You can find out more about it here.)

And we're giving the methodology away for free: the agenda, the slide decks, the reports, even the estimating spreadsheet. It's part of our OpenSoSi project: open-sourcing our consulting practice. (Show)
