@TheCR Quick Chat w/ Adam Cohen

By

I met Adam several years ago at my very first Social Media Breakfast in Boston and was impressed from the start. Whether it's transforming business with social media and community, staying current with his blog or dissecting the latest Red Sox trade rumors, he's up to the task. When we caught up … [Read more...]

@TheCR Quick Chat w/ David Alston

By

Rachel and I had a chance to sit down with David Alston from Radian6 last week. I first met David at a Social Media Breakfast in Boston and was inspired by how he looks at the way marketing (and the role of the CMO) is changing as social media and community become more prevalent in business. In this … [Read more...]

@TheCR Quick Chat w/ Diane Hessan

By

Diane Hessan from Communispace is one of the most approachable CEOs you'll meet. When you meet her for the first time she really wants to get to know you and listens intently. It's not surprising she runs a successful social media company given this trait and it's also not surprising she has her … [Read more...]

@TheCR Quick Chat w/ Stewart Mader

By

Rachel sat down with Stewart Mader (blog/Twitter), the author of Wikipatterns and a recognized expert on technology adoption, to talk about the concept of social software pilots.

@TheCR Quick Chat with Aaron Strout

By

I've been friends with Aaron since he and I were on the team together at Shared Insights. We worked on community projects like "We Are Smarter than Me" and traveled the country recording podcasts with industry rockstars. It was a bit odd interviewing Aaron since we'd tag-teamed so many interviews in … [Read more...]

@TheCR Quick Chat with Bryan Person

By

It's a little ironic that I'm doing a podcast with Bryan since the first time we met it was to discuss the best practices and lessons learned he'd accumulated in creating podcasts for Monster.com. He taught me everything I needed to know about podcasting, which served me well at SXSWi when Aaron … [Read more...]

@TheCR Quick Chat with Mark Wallace

By

Mark and I worked together at three different companies between 1996 - 2007. During that time we worked on social media and community projects of all shapes and sizes. When he told me he was leaving to take on a lead role in EDR's Commonground community I was thrilled. He has a deep passion for … [Read more...]

@TheCR Quick Chat with Michael Brito

By

I found Michael Brito (@britopian) through a mention on Twitter. He'd written a blog post called "Social Media Marketing Will Soon Become a Commodity Skill Set" and it somehow found it's way into my stream. I agreed with the premise and let Michael know on Twitter. We had a back and forth and before … [Read more...]

@TheCR Quick Chat with Patrick Quinn

By

When we heard that the Kansas Department of Transportation had an online community we knew we had to speak with them. Rachel reached out to Patrick Quinn and he graciously accepted her invitation to sit and chat with her about what they're up to. Patrick talked about how the agency uses social … [Read more...]

@TheCR Quick Chat with Shawn Morton

By

I met Shawn last March while on the Innovator's RoadTrip. He joined us for a beer in Columbus and talked about the innovative work he was doing at Nationwide. We soon realized we had a lot of friends in common and ended up at a lot of the same "social gatherings" at SXSWi. Good times! During this … [Read more...]
