1. Remember that innovation requires no fixed rules or templates -- only guiding principles. Creating a more innovative culture is an organic and creative act.

Some Social Media Tips / Notes

A few bulletpoints from a social media magic university course, I am currently taking.

Social media is personal, friendly, positive, and most of all, relational. If a brand creates their presence without keeping these attributes in mind, their success will be limited.

2. Define your brand in terms of the other persons interests
3. Differentiate your brand and message

Narrow your Target Audience
