Key Ideas:

Trust is what matters now, more than anything else in regards to marketing

• You wont get sales until you build trust with your consumers

Social Networking makes it easy to identify the influencers

• Try to target these influencers to spread the word about your brand (the new PR)

When you enter a new market, be a real person, act like one & feel like one

• This is an idea that gets repeated over and over in the marketing 2.0 world. I watched a great video about it by Gary Vaynerchuk (an online marketing guru) about how Brittany Spears needs to change her twitter tweets to encompass this idea. http://garyvaynerchuk.com/2008/10/17/brittany-spears-is-on-twitterkinda/
