Identify your most promising social media opportunities with the Concept Jam
The Concept Jam is a workshop-based methodology for identifying an organization’s most promising social media opportunities. It's the part of our work that we love the most, and that we think gives the greatest value to our clients. (You can find out more about it here.)
And we're giving the methodology away for free: the agenda, the slide decks, the reports, even the estimating spreadsheet. It's part of our OpenSoSi project: open-sourcing our consulting practice. (Show)
