El eterno debate en cualquier acción en Social Media: la necesidad de monitorizar. Una ardua, pero necesaria, tarea a la hora de elaborar informes de cualquier acción y, aunque nos pese, a la hora de mostrar resultados de nuestras acciones, no nos sirven los meros números de followers o amigos, no significan mucho si van acompañados de algo más cualitativo y cuantitativo. En este sentido ha sido muy revelador el post de...

Hoy traemos una novedad en este blog; la ocasión lo merecía ya que recientemente Víctor Gil ha creado una excelente herramienta: mktfan. Un agregador de noticias social sobre marketing, social media, tendencias, estudios… En definitiva, todos esos temas que tenemos dispersos entre Twitter, Facebook, Netvibes, Google Reader (Bloglines…), etc. Vamos a conocerle un poco más -os aseguro que merece la pena- y a su...

Wohl unfreiwillig komisch geriet der Kommentar der Tagesthemen gestern, am 23. September, mit dem Thomas Hinrichs der Net-Nation und der Parteien-Nation ins Gewissen reden wollte.Dabei werden wichtigste Aspekte außer acht gelassen. Nicht nur Authentizität ist wichtig, sondern auch der unbedingte Wille dem zuzuhören, was ein nicht zu ignorierender Teil der Bevölkerung fordert und was ihn ...

Si hay algo especialmente bonito en el mundo laboral es la sensación que vives cuando te encuentras con personas que de verdad creen en lo que hacen por encima de todo, les apasiona su trabajo y lo convierten en su vida, no viviendo para trabajar -cosa que no me gusta especialmente- sino disfrutando de su quehacer diario y de sus ideas.Escribiendo este post de bienvenida a Yorokobu me he acordado de Emilio...

There has been a lot of speculation on the value of Twitter and quite rightly. I won’t explore it all but the most recent one says maybe a billion but I think this kind of assessment of the value of social media has to be done differently if it’s going to be done seriously.To begin ...

El vídeo online ya no es tendencia, es una realidad innegable. Según un estudio de Microsoft Advertising y ZenithMedia, España es el país europeo donde un mayor número de internautas han visto vídeos online en el ordenador, un 87% frente al 63% de franceses. No obstante, somos los últimos en lo que a ver vídeo en el móvil se refiere, un 16% de usuarios lo han hecho, frente al casi 30% del Reino Unido. Según Universal...

Si hay algo interesante, a la vez que confuso, son los estudios y estadísticas sobre el uso de los Social Media, su comparativa, etc. Informes de muy diversas fuentes suelen proporcionar datos distintos. Sin embargo, creo que lo más importante de ellos es saber mirar un poco más allá y captar la esencia y la tendencia que marcan y utilizarlos para saber por qué usamos una y otra herramienta en función de nuestra...

Si hay algo de lo que no pueden presumir la Comunicación y las Relaciones Públicas, y menos en España, es de hacer relaciones públicas sobre el propio sector. En nuestro país si preguntas a una muestra cualitativa de la población la gran mayoría responderá que un relaciones públicas es el que reparte los flyers de las discotecas o, en el mejor de los casos, el que te invita a una copa (os recomiendo leer el post “El...

When a client asks you to build a website you should consider the below before responding.. - What is the desired action? Not what is the desired website action but human action? Is it to buy something. Believe something. Join something. Contribute something. What does the role of the website play in achieving that goal? - Does ...

It’s nothing new to suggest that the Network disrupts all it touches. Working as a specialist in the networked space over the last year it shouldn’t have come as a surprise all the things I had previously believed as a marketer, professional, businessman and more should also be disrupted. By focusing purely on working with ...
