Four Keys to Unleash the Hidden Power of Your Customers

Three years ago, I was invited to speak at a Becky Carroll’s Marketing via New Media class at UCSD Extension to speak on behalf of Brickfish, a social media advertising company based in San Diego. Since then, I’ve been a fan of Becky Carroll on Twitter and her blog CustomersRocket.net where she shares her passion about social media, marketing, and the customer experience. Just recently, I saw Becky Carroll’s keynote at Social Media Camp San Diego that was held last month at the Sony headquarters.

Today, I’m excited to announce that Becky Carroll has a book coming out in July! The Hidden Power of Your Customers: Four Keys to Growing Your Business Through Existing Customers, being published by John Wiley & Sons, is now available for pre-order on Amazon.

Marketing via New Media Meets Brickfish®

Earlier this month, our company was invited to be guest speakers at Becky Carroll’s Marketing via New Media class at UCSD Extension. Carroll’s class focuses on how social media can leverage customer loyalty and engagement. In fact, the book that she uses in her course is Groundswell by Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff—a definite must read for any company looking to gain insight and engagement from their consumers.

With that said, we were definitely excited to meet her class (especially me since I’m a big fan of public speaking). We presented what Brickfish® was and how companies can use our platform to launch a social media advertising campaign. Below is the presentation that we shared with her class that night:

What Is Brickfish?

Again, special thanks to Becky Carroll and her students for letting us speak. You can learn more about how her students are embracing social media by reading her blog at Teaching Social Media.

By the way, if you’re attending the 2008 BlogWorld Conference, be sure to check out the Creating Customer Loyalty with Social Media panel as Carroll will be one of the moderators.
