#smssummit #nyc I think I last used Twitter heavily at the conference in Anaheim! Two great days of fantastic speakers. Stay tuned for updates

Wisdom from Ben Grossman at the #SMSsummit what are you doing that's WORTH posting about?

Proud to have taken the stage with such great folks: Taisa JY Roxanne Delete and mandy55 fascinating discussion on what's next in social media #SMSsummit

#smssummit advice on building an influencer campaign: have a solid foundation. This may seem obvious BUT the # of companies that don't do this - and fly "blind" is amazing. Have a team to support this crucial effort.

Refreshing reminder at #SMSsummit on working with influencers: actually meet them. Research them and have contracts that protect you. Compliance is a real thing folks.

#SMSsummit advice on working with influencers: (my VERY basic summation) treat them like PEOPLE. Research them, do due diligence, then support them with your team and empower them to be THEMSELVES. #credibilitymatters #beauthentic

Good advice at #SMSsummit: if you find an influencer that is "too" willing to churn out your content (without changing or personalizing) that may not be the best influencer to connect authentically with an audience.

Terrifying fact from #SMSsummit human attention span: in 2000 was 12 seconds. Today: 8 seconds. For the record gold fish have an attention span of 9 seconds.... #facts #scary

Solid point: user experience matters more than design in sharing social posts. Example: designers love the multi image "grid" that forms a big picture on your Instagram profile. Users hate getting unclear puzzle pieces in their feeds. #SMSsummit

Great session by meg at #SMSsummit on "Thumb stopping content". Two great takeaways: ALWAYS Customize your thumbnails and make the first six seconds of any video a teaser of the BEST parts of the full video. #goodstuff

"Each piece of social content MUST have an 8-second moment." Good insights from Ryan Peña on capitalizing on modern attention spans. #smssummit

Is #TikTok unfairly thrown into #US lawmakers' firing line? As US regulators are deeming it time to catch up to the world of #dataprivacy, it's not new that Tik Tok or any other large social media platforms are under fire from Congress, says B. Blackburn-Dwyer.

Who here is using CONTENT as your primary traffic (and profit) driver? Why/Why not? #content #contentmarketing #marketing #contentcreators

From my last appearance on CGTN discussing how the impact of the trade war must be understood through both policy and politics.

“The concern I have about the phase 1 deal is, are any of these provisions really realistic? Can the US really rely on the Trump administration to stay calm? Can we really build from phase 1 into a phase 2? ”...B. Blackburn-Dwyer #tradedeal #china #thepointwithlx

2024 Campaign Slogan: #Pompeo vs. #China. B. Blackburn-Dwyer says, “He wants to strengthen the dispute about China and launch a #ColdWar Part 2... I think he is preparing to run for office after #Trump in 2024." #notonewcoldwar

Massive OOOOOF

Today I’m hearing all of the good old boys and girls saying if you don’t like Jason Aldean you don’t have to listen to him. Gotcha. And if you don’t like certain library books you don’t have to ban them ‘cause you ain’t going to read them.
