Customers seek to affiliate themselves with an entity they can trust, relate to, and believe in. Those emotional qualities are the foundation of a strong brand. The social web is a new opportunity for companies to connect with customers in much more personal ways than ever before. A strong community marketing program is now essential, especially for technology companies. There is a psychology to applying the social web to business, and it takes a special combination of acumen and sensitivity to apply it well. I have these skills.
