When to Hire a Social Media Boutique Agency
I was recently asked by Sean Corcoran of Forrester to answer one simple but fascinating question: When do companies come to New Media Strategies for social media help rather than their digital agency, PR firm, or traditional agency and why? Companies tend to go with their incumbent digital agency, PR firm, or traditional agency when they are still in the early stages of social media experimentation. It is a path of least resistance in situations where they cannot make the case for a dedicated and significant social media budget, or where they have yet to establish a holistic social media strategy for their organization based on their inability to understand the impact that a sustained commitment to social media will have on their business.
NMS Grows a Mustache for Movember to Help Change the Face of Men’s Health
Mustaches have long been associated with the pillars of awesomeness. Art (Dali), Science (Einstein), Academia (Nietzsche), Private Investigation (Magnum), to name a few. In the past few years, mustache’s have been garnering attention for awesomeness for something new, charitable causes. Movember, combining the slang term for mustache “Mo” and the month of November, is an annual, month-long initiative that raises funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that effect men. The movement began in Australia in 2003 and now has more than one million participants in over 15 countries. In the U.S. specifically, proceeds benefit the Prostate Cancer Foundation and Livestrong.
