What does it take to actually be seen in the social media sphere? To raise your profile so that you’re seen as a leading voice, a super user? And can that voice be translated into an actual business, or a great new job? A couple weeks ago I keynoted a conference called the PINCShow, for print designers, in San Francisco. It was produced by the Visual Media Alliance (VMA, formerly known as PINC).
The presentation offers just a sampling of different voice-building techniques along with stories of the people and organizations that made them happen.
Got some techniques of your own? What’s been successful? What hasn’t? Let us know.

hey david, i'm a new viewer of your blog. what do you think of http://www.billydec.com/blog/nrashow? i'm a chicago gal looking for a job in the entertainment/marketing arena and came across this guy – seems to be on the same wave length as you?
He seems to be ok, although one of the websites he mentioned I went to and it was trying to dump a virus on my site.
Great presentation David-
