It doesn’t take much to be in charge of social media at a media agency, does it?
I’ve just looked her up online. She follows 100 people on Twitter and has written 4 blog posts since last September.
She might be “one of the media industry’s most respected digital media experts”, but according to who?
Are clients going to be rinsed for this deep expertise?
Who?
@bonobo how many users you follow on twitter determines your expertise in social media now? Didn’t realise, thanks for the Pro-tip.
Just choked on my weetabix reading this! Good luck Mccann!

@Bonobo – It does not take much at all to gather a large following on Twitter. Also writing blog posts sure you can make one a week, but in reality people are too busy with actual work they don’t have time to sit around creating blog post after blog post, unless its your job i.e Mumbrella.
I think to be successful in social media you need to work with big brands, you need a proven track record, you need to know all the social media monitoring software Radian6/ Buzz Metrics ect ect
It is really hard to comment on some one if they are successful or not with out seeing their CV now is it!!!
