I think they have stepped up their writing or something because it is certainly getting bigger reactions from me lately. Today I focused on discussing their 5 New Rules for Marketing and what I thought about them. You can read the whole article right here. The rules Ad Age laid out were: Listening to consumers is more important than talking at them. You can’t hide the corporations behind the brand anymore – or even fully separate the two. PR is a primary concern for every CMO and brand manager. Cause marketing isn’t about philanthropy, it’s about “enlightened self-interest.” Social media is not a strategy.

Since then we have stayed in touch and crossed paths more then once at conferences we were both speaking at. He’s a very smart and laid back guy and I think that is why we hit it off so well. When I got a chance to read his newest book World Wide Rave , I couldn’t wait to sit down and discuss it with him and that is today’s Managing the Gray. The book doesn’t come out for another month, but until then you can visit the World Wide Rave web site and get the latest information.

I first met David Meerman Scott when he interviewed me for his book The New Rules of Marketing & PR . Since then we have stayed in touch and crossed paths more then once at conferences we were both speaking at. He’s a very smart and laid back guy and I think that is why we hit it off so well. When I got a chance to read his newest book World Wide Rave , I couldn’t wait to sit down and discuss it with him and that is today’s Managing the Gray. The book doesn’t come out for another month, but until then you can visit the World Wide Rave web site and get the latest information.

I haven’t recorded a carcast in a long time and to get technical this would be a truckcast. I don’t think I’ve ever done one for Managing the Gray. I’ve been using the iTalk iPhone application and working through some problems with it that now appear to be fixed and I love that I can record anywhere I am. I had this idea about social media being like water. It all came about from me telling someone that too many companies are diving into the shallow end of the pool without thinking about hitting the bottom. As I drove to a meeting that idea kept bubbling and bouncing and I wanted to capture my thoughts and figured why not share them with you. You’ll hear me call this live brainstorming and that is exactly what it is. It is far from a fully baked idea and I’d love your input on it. Some of my thoughts included: Don’t be afraid to dive into the deep end of the pool. Sometimes it makes more sense. Always look at the water you are diving into and try to make sure there are not major rocks or sticks that you are going to hit your head on. Sometimes going in feet first makes a lot more sense then head first. Water by itself can be boring after you have drank it a few times. What can you add to it that makes it more fun and refreshing? Water is best when added to other things. Water is made into beer. When you first walk into a pool or the ocean it is cold and scary, but the longer you spend in it you get more comfortable. Am I crazy to say that social media is like water? I REALLY want your input and thoughts on this. I’m already putting together the presentation in my head. Thank you for the continued support and if you have a moment leave an iTunes review . There have been some new listeners around these parts lately and I love hearing from you.

But, you’d be amazed at how many people and companies do think it will magically solve all their problems. Managing the Gray is here to tell you otherwise. Today’s episode was inspired by an article in the latest Rolling Stone that talks about how Obama’s campaign was run and how he became President.

I’m curious to see where it goes, but so far it got my attention and has me watching for more. Of course they seem to have forgotten any sort of subscribe feature which is a huge mistake on their part.
