2Content
You need to manage a growing online presence
But did we forget something vital?
“The fallacy of incomplete logic: We need an app / Facebook Page / Twiter account because everyone else has one. ”
- Jonathan MacDonald, entrepeneur, at SMWF Europe 2011
“You don’t see all the content from Facebook Pages. That’s why engagement is so important. You see the pages you engage with.”
- David Parfect, UK Sales Manager, Facebook at SMWF Europe 2011
“Stop pretending content is somebody else’s problem”- Kristina Halvorson
