TEDWoman in Washington, DC: Social Media and the End of a Gender by Johanna Blakly

"People online don't "aggregate" by AGE, RACE, GEOGRAPHY...the "aggregate" by LIKES."

Media and advertising companies still use the same old demographics to understand audiences, but they're becoming increasingly harder to track online, says media researcher Johanna Blakley. As social media outgrows traditional media, and women users outnumber men, Blakley explains what changes are in store for the future of media. .... A MadMen lover, like me.

Entrepreneur's Magazine "THE RULES" for Doing Business in Bars

By Ross McCammon

Because this isn't really about cocktails. It's about business.
I work at Esquire, and we drink on occasion. We drink when things need to be celebrated, contemplated, figured out--but languidly, casually, without a clear goal in mind. We drink for defined periods of time and not all that often, but we drink. We drink with each other or with people we're getting to know. We drink in the conference room. We drink at bars. We drink to build relationships, to learn things. We're not looking for an escape but the opposite of escape. We don't want to lose something but gain something--an idea or a partnership or a new way of looking at our existing ideas and partnerships. Serious stuff, if you think about it. We think drinking is good for business when done the right way. So there are rules that we've worked out from drinking, from sharing knowledge about drinking in the magazine, from being around people who know more about what we drink than we do. And the rules are like this...



You called the meeting, you get to the bar early. Even if you didn't call the meeting, you get there early. Because if you get there early, you begin defining relationships. Not only between you and the people you're meeting with, but between you and the bar itself: the cocktail waitresses, the bartenders, the guy sitting next to you. You have come to this bar for relationships. You might as well begin making them.



You can sit at the bar. But standing's better. When you stand, you are able to receive. You are on the level of those who will approach you. You're not in a position of weakness. You're in a position of authority. Or at least parity. Anyway, you got there first. So you stand and wait. With a drink.

La portada de la revista TIME de diciembre-enero 2007 se tituló “La persona del año: TU.” No, la revista no se estaba burlando de nuestro egocentrismo o de nuestra sed de ser reconocidos por otras personas. La revista dedicó varias páginas para explicar lo que no muchos saben de su existencia, pero si es una realidad: todos somos una marca. Somos una marca desde el primer día que nacimos, ya que nuestros padres nos otorgaron un nombre en el cual no tuvimos ninguna opinión – y lo cual nos hace distinguir por el resto de nuestras vidas.

Así como elegimos comprar el auto BMW en lugar del Mercedes Benz, o preferimos el acondicionador Garnier en lugar de Pantene, cada uno de nosotros también cuenta con una lista de características que definen como otras personas nos perciben. Aunque no tengamos conciencia de esto, nuestras acciones, la forma en que nos expresamos, nos vestimos y hasta nuestra elección a la hora de ordenar la cena, tienen un potente factor visual y cognitivo en la imagen que otras personas forman de nosotros. Esto puede sonar superficial, ya que somos seres mucho más complejos de lo que los ojos pueden ver. ¿Que hay de los sentimientos, nuestra inteligencia y nuestros valores? Claro, esto sin duda alguna tiene mucho mas peso en lo que realmente comos – pero piensa en esto: ¿A todas las personas con las que de alguna manera te relaciones a diaro, le das la oportunidad para que entren a tu mente o a tu corazón y sepan el verdadero TU? La realidad es que no nos abrimos a todo el mundo que conocemos – ni tampoco otros esperan esto. Podemos contar con los dedos de una mano las personas que realmente conocen nuestro verdadero YO.

Entonces, si solo personas allegada a nosotros – como hijos, esposos, familiares y amigos – te conocen de verdad; ¿que pasa con las cientos de personas que nos cruzamos a diario, por ejemplo, en el ámbito laboral? Esta es una realidad del ser humano, lo cual aprendemos desde pequeños: nos compartamos diferentes en nuestras casas, en la casa de la vecina y en la escuela. No es que aprendemos a tener diferentes personalidades, pero si nos aprendemos a comportarnos diferentes versiones de nosotros mismos – de acuerdo a la situación. Es algo que hacemos a diario sin darnos cuenta.


Por ejemplo, es casi seguro que tus compañeros de trabajo y superiores solo conozcan una parte de ti: la laboral. Solo en las fiestas de navidad de la oficina – y luego de un par de tragos – es que podemos ¡por fin! ver a nuestros superiores un poco mas como “humanos” y no como nuestros “jefes intransigentes y pedantes.”

Entonces, si en el ámbito laboral estamos solo una parte de nuestro día y podemos filtrar aspectos de nuestra vida personal que realmente no le interesa a los demás, esto quiere decir que tenemos el poder de controlar como otros piensan de nosotros – mas poder de lo que pensamos. Imagínate que la semana que viene comienzas un nuevo trabajo, con nuevos jefes y con nuevos colegas. Tienes la oportunidad de comenzar desde cero – ellos no te habían visto antes, ni conocen nada sobre ti – solo saben que puedes realizar el trabajo al que fuiste reclutado. Esta es la única pieza de información que tienen sobre ti – inclusive antes de que llegaras a la oficina. Al pasar de los días, es lógico que le estés dando más datos con que estas personas pueden añadir a esa percepción que tienen de ti. Esto es lo que se conocer como la marca personal: La idea CLARA y PODEROSA que viene a la mente cuando otra persona PIENSA DE TI. Como mencione anteriormente, aunque no lo reconozcamos, ya somos una marca. La pregunta es: ¿Es la marca que quieres?

Lessons Learned from the First Hispanic PR & Social Marketing Conference May 10-13 in Dallas, TX

At one point during last week’s Hispanic PR & Social Media Conference in Dallas, someone or something mysteriously triggered a fire alarm, forcing a temporary evacuation. Maybe the conference topics and speakers were too hot but if you were there or monitored the historic conference through Twitter, you’ll understand why this event proved a catalyst for several industry trends like few Hispanic marketing conferences before it. Here’s a sampling of what I observed:

- Public relations is indeed poised, positioned and ready to lead the Hispanic social media marketing revolution.

- The growing influence of the Hispanic Public Relations Association is real.

- PRSA (Public Relations Society of America) HPRA (Hispanic Public Relations Association) alliance serves the best interests of both.

- Hispanic bloggers are muy caliente right now.

- Fittingly, social media was ablaze with conference chatter.

- Yes, there will definitely be a second Hispanic PR & Social Media Conference!

What AVATAR has to do with Brazil? You'll be Surprised...

"For people living along the river, as they have for millenia, the dam will end their way of life. I implore the Brazilian government, and President Lula, to reconsider this projet." - James Cameron, AVATAR movie director

Last Saturday, April 24th, I was invited by my colleague, Felipe Benitez from Fenton Communications (DC), to attend a media event for his client. Felipe's client is the non-profit organization, Amazon Watch, which works to protect the rainforest and advance the rights of indigenous peoples in the Amazon Basin. James Cameron was going to be honored by indigenous leaders from around the world.

The media event coincided with the special screening of AVATAR, which coincided with the United Nations meeting on indigenous issues in New York City.

AVATAR has been embraced by many indigeous peoples worldwide, who see it as echoing their own story. Throughout Latin America for example, indigenous peoples have highlighted the parallels between the movie and ntheir own experiences dealing with private sector extractive industries and the development of Brazil's Belo Monte Dam - which if constructed, will cost $17.5 billion and will become the world's third largest dam. The impact? 20,000 indigenous peoples will have to abandon the rainforest and relocate to Altamira, where they will compete with migrants for scarce low-paying jobs.

James Cameron first visited Brasilia three weeks ago and since then, he has gone back a second time and the first day he came back the last time, went straight to have a conversation with Obama about the alarming issue happening so close to us. You can read James Cameron's personal letter to Brazil's President, Luis Inacio Lula de Silva here: http://www.amazonwatch.org/newsroom/view_news.php?id=2049
