This presentation provides a list of action items to energize your efforts.

- 6. Implications for Marketers Marketers are now facilitators of conversations Marketers must “put a face on their brand” and learn to be personable/engaging Marketers need to build their own platform to deliver relevant content to attract/build loyal followers instead of paying someone else to interrupt their audience with ads (thus, marketers must now think like a publisher) Digital media is about “who” -- not “how many”
