Mitch Joel at The Art of Management

Six Pixels


I had just finished reading Mitch Joel's new book before coming to his talk at The Art of Management recently, so was very pumped to see him present. He and I had the opportunity of meeting a few years ago in Montreal and have kept in touch , particularly around the subject of personal branding. Here are some of his thoughts:

Compared to 2007, banner ads are being clicked on 50% less and all clicks are being done by 8% of the internet population.

40% of all mothers in the US are on MySpace.

81% of online holiday shoppers read online customer reviews.

Half of the You Tube audience is over the age of 34.

10% of media spend is now online.

Six Points of Separation - why get involved online?

  1. Accept it
  2. Everything is 'with' NOT 'instead of'
  3. Don't be fleeting - build, share and grow
  4. Move toward 'open'
  5. It's attitudinal not generational.
  6. Upload a video to You Tube - do something now.

"It's group expression - the new world is volume of voice"

"It's no longer a case of should you get involved. First figure out the why, then worry about the what"

I used to be involved in third party recruitment and still seem to get my fair share of unsolicited resumes etc - usually with the standard lines of "I was researching your company and have identified that it is one ......." OR "As an experienced XYZ (none...

Tom Peters at The Art of Management This was the person I most wanted to see at the recent Art of Management event in Toronto - Tom Peters. It was after reading his book Brand You 50 that I started to get interested in personal branding, it's approach, how I had used many similar approaches in my own corporate career, advised others to do the same and how I could see this becoming a much bigger subject. Here are some of his observations: Listening is a proper core value Appreciation is a proper core value Apologizing (effective repair) is a proper core value. Thoughtfulness is a proper...
