If there is one thing I’ve noticed in social media marketing, it’s that virtually every brand, company, or organization on social is worried to death about being “engaging” (or the lack thereof). There are two issues here preventing ‘real engagement’: first, ‘engagement’ is rarely defined, and two, ‘engagement’ is a two-way street – not the one-way information stream many brands practice on social media. How did 2012 look in terms of being “socially devoted” then? SocialBakers, the social media marketing measurement company based in Europe, has released their Socially Devoted Report for the 4th Quarter of 2012, giving a peek at changes on how brands and companies practice ‘social devotion’ (if such a word could be used)....
Did you know that 36 percent of people surveyed in a recent poll admitted to posting TV or movie spoilers onto their favourite social media sites? What if I told you that one in ten social networkers have been unfriended due to their prolific posting of political content, one in four Facebook users intentionally post status updates that are so vague that their friends are compelled to ask for more detail, and that almost a full quarter (24 percent) of young men admit to creeping on an ex’s social media profile at least once a month?....
Infographics are great at getting links (and thus high rankings in Google)…but why stop there.

In your list of links, is an infographic that you are proud of. Whether it’s your own brain child or the brain child that you paid someone a lot of money to create— you want to introduce it to the world! It’s been my experience that infographics tend to rank higher and generate traffic faster than your standard blog posts. With that said, your infographic has a lot of potential and power. Are you ready to pitch it hard enough so that your visual message is heard all over the web? Based on what I’ve done in the past, here are some tips so that your awesome infographic doesn’t go unnoticed!...
...Communicating visually is one of the most effective ways to explain complex concepts and relationships, and can be a great way to explain your services/products and create valuable site content. I often use diagrams and whiteboarding in order to communicate new features and concepts internally with my team. I've compiled a list of tools you can use to create visualizations, or simply use to communicate visually with your teammates....
This Infographic explains how you should deal with your web design clients. If you work in web design, then you may know what it feels like to work with a difficult web design client. About 50% of your clients actually do not know what they want in a website. So it is your aim to listen carefully to their needs and to take note of their personal design aesthetic. Only by listening to your client are you going to be able to figure out what they are really going to like in a website. Keep in mind that about 20% of your clients are going to be extremely difficult to work with — sometimes even completely changing the design that you first suggested. For those times, it always is good to start with a contract and to ask for at least 50% of your web design fee upfront. This will make you happier, and maybe even more patient, when those difficult clients come around....
More than 70 percent of B2C and B2B companies are investing in video marketing this year, and YouTube is fast-becoming the silver screen of the world wide web.

At the same time, Americans are increasingly eager to subscribe to their favorite Channels so they don’t miss a single video. It’s important to have a video marketing strategy that powers consistent updates for eager viewers! There are a number of steps you can take to ensure your brand Channel is easily discovered and ridiculously engaging. In our latest infographic, Brafton outlines the top 10 ways you can optimize your business YouTube Channel. Check out our related blog post and our video marketing white paper for more insights....

If you are a marketing professional, you probably follow a number of blogs to stay up to date with your industry. And with companies of all types launching their own blogs, you certainly have options. At the end of 2011, NM Incite was tracking more than 189 million blogs worldwide, 5x the number just 5 years earlier.
Blogs are the newsstands of a new generation of business professionals. Newspapers have been replaced with blogs like Mashable and FastCompany and trade publications have given way to specialty blogs of all kinds. Blogs are an integral part of every marketer’s daily routine and are here to stay.
For this reason, over the past few weeks, Pardot has been covering our favorite blogs on a number of different subjects, from thought leaders to social media, to help readers find valuable resources they may have missed. We have compiled all of our favorite blogs into one infographic, to provide a comprehensive resource for all of your reading needs.

One of the most efficient ways to aggregate easily digestible pieces of information is through infographics. Infographics are typically stylish, scrollable graphics providing factual information on a defined and narrow topic. Infographics make learning and processing information much more enjoyable than simply reading out of an encyclopedia or from a boring black and white webpage. For these reasons, more people and businesses are turning to infographics as a way to send out important bits of information to targeted demographics. A single infographic has the potential to reach up to 15 million people on average. The reason why infographics have such a high potential is because people have embraced linking and spreading the graphics through social media channels. Instead of sending out one fact at a time to a follower, a social media user can simply link to an infographic that has all the information he or she would like to show to followers. This makes infographics as one of the most enjoyable and time efficient ways to spread facts worth sharing....
