Thanks for wanting a front row seat to our new ventures! I can't wait to keep collaborating, brainstorming, tweeting and being social with all of you. :) I also love the fact that without social media, I would have never met the lovely ladies you also wrote about in this post.

We're not naive -- we know everyone has to make compromises to make a living, especially in the corporate sphere. But I optimistically believe that good organizations are made so, or made better, by the good people they employ. In short, I agree!

Since you know these lovely ladies, you know they are genuine, so it adds credibility to these brands. Lots of brands employing social media evangelists still maintain a shroud of opacity over their campaigns and thus miss out on this exact type of goodwill. well this goes back to the need for “authenticity” in social media.

I agree with you 100%. Just goes to show that employees are arguably the BEST brand ambassadors for any company, organization or product! I wonder what this means for brand loyalty. Are people more apt to be loyal to a particular brand, company or organization because their friends work there? Now my wheels are turning...would love to elaborate on this at some point. Great post!

I wonder what this means for brand loyalty. Are people more apt to be loyal to a particular brand, company or organization because their friends work there?

Now my wheels are turning…would love to elaborate on this at some point.

Great post!
