About Us

About Us We help organizations to effectively socialize by equipping them to pro!t and prosper using social media.  Organizations striving to stay ahead of their competition must see social media communications as an integrated  and essential part of all major business functions. Jumping into this space without laying the groundwork is like giving your kid the keys to your car without a driving lesson or a curfew, and then wondering why things went bad. Our mission is to help you effectively integrate and pro!t from social media by fully equipping your organization with  the tools and the know-how for social media engagement and success. Our vision: is to become THE Industry thought leaders in helping companies and communities become socialized. The Socialized! methodologies are based upon Shane Gibson’s no-nonsense process on getting Sociable! from his two books Sociable! How Social Media is Turning Sales and Marketing Up-side Down and Guerrilla Social Media Marketing co-authored with Stephen Jagger and Jay Conrad Levinson respectively.
