5 Social Media Lessons From Wizard World Comic Con

Shane Gibson's Podcast – Social Selling – B2B Sales and Influence

At Socialized! our Social Media Agency we have had some incredible opportunities over the past year to work with brands such as the Ford Dealers Association of BC and Alberta, the Certified Management Accounts, CGA BC, CGA Canada and the Make-a-Wish Foundation. However…even producing the week long event “Social Media Week Vancouver” did not prepare us for the passionate, loyal and often opinionated fans at Wizard World Comic Cons. This is a relatively new adventure for us but this podcast reviews 5 social media lessons I have learned (or re-learned) so far:

5 Lessons (Listen to the podcast for a full explanation):

1. Tapping into a Tribe is much better than building one
2. When people know you’re listening they talk, share, tweet, like and follow
3. Amplify the moment
4. Run contests to find influencers
5. Partner to expand influence
