Blogging is just one piece of the huge social network out there in the blogosphere. Social media and apps of every rank and stripe is out in full force as well. So it was a real treat to attend The Gary Vaynerchuck event this evening at the University of Maryland where this very social media (Vayner Media based in NYC) and savvy guy pontificated on the use of these tools. He likes to say these media tools are the gateway to developing awareness and relationships that may eventually lead to some business. It was a lively crowd of about 1,000 fans all awed by this skinny dude that started selling baseball cards on the weekend as an early teen, then joined the family business in his late teens, The Wine Library, where his vision and "wild" marketing strategies took the business from 6 million dollars in sales to 60 million dollars in sales. A bonifide marketing guru for sure! I am thankful to share this night with Bill, Olivia, Don Tomoff, Liz Verrecchia and Chris Goodman!
BSoleille!
