Soulati Media On The Street: Brian Vickery, Mantis Technology

By

This snippet makes me laugh every time I see it; maybe the number of views on Soulati Media’s YouTube channel are all mine? See what you think…introducing today Brian Vickery of Mantis Technology in Denver. Brian journeyed a long distance to Social Slam 2012 in Knoxville to meet all of us; including the infamous Margie Clayman of Clayman Advertising. Watch closely, you may get a glimpse of her!

Brian lets us know his company just launched a social media tool called…shoot, the audio stunk right there, Brian. Is it called Pulse Analytics? I hope you come over and clarify more about your new product and let us all know in comments what it does. Meanwhile, I’m heading over to Mantis to provide a few links for anyone who wants to dig deeper.

Please excuse the shameless plugs throughout, but isn’t that what I’m supposed to do? Take it away, Brian!

Here is a second installment of the Soulati Media On The Street video series I shot live at Social Slam 2012. Like a kid in a candy store, I bring you special guest Patty Swisher who directs marcomm, public relations and social marketing for Pittsburgh architectural firm IKM Architects.

As a 100-year-old firm, IKM is considered progressive in its social media engagement with Patty at the helm. Patty manages the firm’s Twitter account and Facebook page (go ahead, give ’em a like), and she’s also instrumental in spreading the good news about social marketing to others in architecture services.

See more from Patty right here, and thanks, Lady, for being my guest in this ever-so-spontaneous affair!

Soulati Media On The Street With Shane Rhyne, Ackermann PR

By

Thanks to Stephanie Wonderlin at Social Slam in her 10 impressive minutes of fame where she said that YouTube video got more attention from search engines than web pages or Vimeo.

That statement caused my mind to stray to my neglected YouTube channel and what wasn’t there — enough videos to be impressive. Stephanie changed my life right then and there; I resolved to fix my sheer laziness with snippets of <2 minute snips (another Stephanie tip) then and there at Social Slam.

New on the Soulati Media YouTube channel are 9 videos posted in Knoxville live from Social Slam. Within 10 minutes, I had product, I had launch, I had video all raw and in the moment on the street. Gotta love that takeaway; may I energize you to try the same?

Guest one is Shane Rhyne, director of digital with 30-year-old Ackermann PR in Knoxville. Shane wears a hat that distinguishes him in a crowd; sheesh, the guy is 6’4″ does he need to command any more attention?

So we bantered and got down to brass tacks — PR is all about integration and    Shane offers a tip for newbie PR professionals not yet engaging in social media to “just get started.” See what you think about Shane’s commanding presence on camera; I’d say he nailed it, wouldn’t you?
