Being Thankful

by Rachel Happe on November 25, 2009

The Community Roundtable – like any good community – relies on everyone playing a part to be successful. The great thing about community networks is that very often participants get back proportionally more than they contribute and that is what makes communities sustainable.

@TheCR Quick Chat w/ Diane Hessan

by Jim Storer on October 1, 2009

Diane Hessan from Communispace is one of the most approachable CEOs you’ll meet. When you meet her for the first time she really wants to get to know you and listens intently.

Rachel reached out to Patrick Quinn and he graciously accepted her invitation to sit and chat with her about what they’re up to. Patrick talked about how the agency uses social media, what they’ve [...]

@TheCR Quick Chat w/ David Alston

by Jim Storer on July 21, 2009

Rachel and I had a chance to sit down with David Alston from Radian6 last week. I first met David at a Social Media Breakfast in Boston and was inspired by how he looks at the way marketing (and the role of the CMO) is changing as social media and community become more prevalent in [...]
