Hi LA Comedy Awards! I do not believe I was pitching anything. This was a mere post about social media and its roots in authenticity. thank you for your kind words. The blog is getting an overhaul so I just have posts populating it at this point.

I read the article and missed the part about what exactly what you are pitching. I enjoyed your descriptive style otherwise.

Feel free to pitch me any time.

I am an idiot!!! I must say that the Purple Cow is what I needed. I felt less grounded this week in terms of thinking I knew how to grapple with what we are doing particularly. However, “shared values” is an excellent frame work. I had not married tribes with shared values. David-this was a great discovery!!!

Amanda,

Lol – we’re already connected = @budtrap!

I think a lot of the discourse is brought on the by the fact the world is going through a transformation from mass media, ie renting a market through advertising to that of social connectivity & trust. For businesses that have built brands on the former, this presents all sorts of hurdles in presenting growth figures to their investors.

This were we enter guys like @armano & his collective thoughts http://darmano.typepad.com/ which do a good job at trying to rationalize these hurdles into a scalable action that can “work” to solve these problems.

I personally don’t know the answer, but feel that working in tribes & communities focuses the connectivity – carries a more meaningful conversation than blasting people with mass marketing & better yet works to become more sustainable – both environmentally (cradle to cradle – great book) and culturally.

Besides it’s more fun dealing with people you get on with!

Dave,

Thank you for reading. This blog has been in beta for two long but much has to do with leaving PR Newswire and procuring steady employment. My thoughts resonate with yours. I dont know about you but I never understand why there is so much discourse on the philosophy of great social media. And, while not being reductive, I think the equation for success is simply, connect on shared values ( a wonderful phrase I adopted by @susangetgood.

Who are you on Twitter? I apologize for not knowing ASAP. Have been traveling a fair bit.

best
Amanda

Amanda,

Great read – was talking to @iggypintado about this very same concept of triggering emotional connections.

Looking forward to future exploits.

Dave
