This came up in a couple of conversations during Social Media Breakfast: Singapore 2. Who’s the hardest to persuade when trying to implement a social media initiative? I’m guessing there isn’t a singular person, but clumps of people:1) The C SuiteI hear conflicting stories here. Some C Suite individuals are very keen to get into ...

Last Saturday (an exhausting day after Social Media Breakfast), I met the guys for a belated birthday celebration for Rubin. Being his birthday, he got to chose the place and led us to Ambrosia, 19 Baghdad Street because of its’ $11 buffet.So we got there and sat upstairs when a waiter came and said “Sir ...

I haven’t really talked about this so far, but I’m heading up to Queens University in Kingston, Ontario on August 24th for exchange. I originally wanted to leave on the 22nd of August so I could celebrate my birthday here, and then land on the 22nd and celebrate it again, but oh well, no seats.So ...

I was at an informal meeting today which I quite enjoyed. We had bloggers, client-side people, agency-side people, all of whom were interested in social media.
