• Hollis Thomases to “Write the Book” on Twitter Marketing

  Jun 19, 2009 - Last Monday, members of the social advertising industry gathered in New York City at the first-of-its-kind Social Ad Summit. The summit brought together social advertising solutions providers, advertisers, agencies, applications developers, and venture capitalists. The coinciding news of the Lehman Brothers collapse certainly affected the mood and the degree of optimism I'm sure event producers had hoped to generate. Nevertheless, that the event attracted a healthy-sized crowd speaks to the growing interest in the social advertising industry. Here are some relevant highlights. (...)
