A week or two ago I posted a great round up of the top 10 social media presentations on SlideShare. One of the presentations in that mix was by Marta Kagan, who has just released another version of the presentation called “one year on” that is filled with amazing stats and fantastic images depicting the impact and value of social media.
This isn’t a strategic look at how to leverage social media, so some of you won’t find this interesting, but it’s more the perfect way to convince businesses why they should be jumping in!
There are some fantastic quotes in here: “If your product sucks, social media won?t fix it.” But then again, “If your customer service sucks, social media can help” and better still, “If your repeat business sucks social media can help”.

I was really impressed with this presentation. I am new to working on a social networking site my background was until recently broadcast. I love the quotes1 it is about time that companies thought more deeply about how they interact on these sites.

What a great visual presentation – too bad the author had to
resort to gutter level headlines to make a point. It makes her
look like a real b**b incapable of stringing a presentation together
without resorting to the lowest of language to attract attention.
If this is where marketing is heading, why bother with the asterick,
just say what really want you. It diminishes the impression about social media especially when the viewer may be a newbie. Is SM where
everyone talks like sailors, or is it a valid, valuable venue for dialogue. Poor choice, but excellent presentation otherwise

folks,
i can drop an f-bomb as well as anyone. but i frankly found much of this slidepack offensive. who in their right mind is going to take an agency like this seriously, when a buttoned-up brand image is at stake?

There are no sources for all the “data.”

Good stats, and superb use of the KISS – Keep it simple stupid – theory of slideshows. Even though there was not a lot of text, the info is conveyed in a powerful way, and yes, like others, I too questioned the use of foul language, however, if the report had a more prosiac title and presentation it would not be nearly as memorable or impactful. Learn and have fun while your at it, very cool.

What a great presentation- direct and to the point. Companies can no longer afford to be left behind in the social media conversation. Consumer landscape is changing. media is changing. mobile technology and social networks are transforming the way we communicate and commerce and experience the world. information, products, services and brands are now tangible, accessible and instantaneous things that can be shared, fanned, tweeted out to the world.
