I’m Looking for a hustler to be my Personal Intern at huber+co. & TweetMyTime

I need some help and I have a lot to teach any student or new marketer who is willing to hustle.

Build Brand Armies by Seeding Conversations

It’s almost the end of 2009, and you and I both know the social web is about conversations between humans. We’ve figured that part out.  Organizations, events, products and services – none of these things really have the ability to communicate.  They’re things that have messages.  But behind those things with messages, their are people.  Their are always people.
