Brands need to remember why we’re on Facebook in the first place
I have a hard time taking notes during Talks so I’ll sometimes record them. Luckily I pressed play when Dr. A. K. Pradeep stepped forward from the panel on “How Brain Science Turns Browsers Into Buyers” #sxbrainbuy to talk about the real reasons folks are checked into their social media platform of choice. For me, this was one of the more fascinating talks during the 4 days at SXSW.
Key points:
- Think “Brand to Brain”
1 year ago
• 0 notes
- Top 2 reasons why people log-in - Who wants to be my friend & what can I say about something
- Top 2 reasons why people post - Appreciate me & support me
- Are you creating content for this type of mindset?
- Dear brand… it not about you… it’s about me (the reader/viewer)
- B2B should stand for Brand-to-Brain
- Don’t sell - Tell
- Tell us things we need to know
Here’s a link to the video played during the final minutes of the talk

How much time should I spend on social media?
I have a friend who’s been trying to figure out all this Social Media stuff on her own for the past year. After talking nothing but Twitter over dinner for a couple of hours, I promised to send her a few tips from one of my favorite people: @ChrisBrogan. Read his blog and follow him, he’s one smart cookie.

Ever tried giving your mechanic (with the thick German accent) your vehicle identification number over the phone? You know that code with umpteen letters and numbers in it. How about your mother-in-law the correct spelling of your twitter handle?
My Dad had a simple way of using names that represented letters so the person on the other end of the line could write it down… correctly. But for me, when time time comes I can never remember what they are. Any way, I found some, I’m printing them out and posting them near the phone.
I like the phonetic alphabet used by the old ARRL (American Radio Relay League)
