Left the Box: Are You a Social Media Scientist?

  • Tabitha "Tabz" Smith · 10 months ago
    I love this. I get the same reaction from people when I say I'm a Social Media Strategist (well after the "what's that mean"). And it's not as easy as it sounds. To rise above and give the best strategies, to make them work for the client and for the consumers... and to keep up with everything? Science man.

    Plus I stare at a lot of excel sheets.

    @Tabz @MarkusThanks for the comments! It's good to know that I'm not alone. Hopefully, I'll have a few posts soon just about some technical social media strategies.

    The preparation can/should be scientific, but there's art in the execution.

    That said, not many have a good handle on the psychology of things (am working on an overview post), which to me includes branding. Good to read up on the people that know and have TESTED, like Ries & Trout.
