"As a veteran of the social media industry - and it does move fast - I was still able to gain some valuable gems out of this book. Whether you are new to social media or an advanced marketer, this book is a must read. While most books on the topic are a heavy read, Taming the Social Media Monster, is quick, fun, AND entertaining. Pick up a copy today. You can't go wrong." ~ Shama Kabani, CEO, Speaker, and Author of the Best-Selling The Zen of Social Media Marketing.
"A great overview of the social media challenge many businesses are facing. A smart, well-researched, and easy-to-read guide for anyone fumbling around in the new world of social media marketing and community-building. If you haven't been able to 'get your head around' this new way of communicating and connecting with your potential customers, reading this guide will point you in the right direction." ~Ken Kesslin, President, Kesslin Associates
"As the CEO of a leadership development firm I am always looking for great resources for my clients. As soon as I saw the critical errors and read these do-able, concrete ideas for managing social media I got very excited! Thanks for this fantastic resource. Just what we need right now! A simple, clear, immediately useful guide to the way we interact with consumers in a new era of two-way communication. Examples like the U.S. Army can help us reduce our fear, and realize it's not a monster after all!" ~ Karlin Sloan, CEO, Speaker, and Author of Smarter Faster, Better and Unfear; Facing Change in an Era of Uncertainty.
"A must-read for business executives! While there is vast information on the spread of social media, most is hype, encouraging businesses to simply "jump on the bandwagon". I work with many CEOs and find that many are skeptical of social media because of the hype. Pomerantz & Burmeister provide a no-nonsense approach to finding solutions that fit and support your business strategy. Read this and you'll be able to see clearly where you need to focus." ~ Lee Self - President, Renaissance Executive Forums
