We create sustainable
  word of mouth movements
and remarkable brand identities
   for corporations, products,
organizations and communities.
I’M
SOCIAL MEDIA
AGNOSTIC
We need to use our BRAND AMBASSDORS
so they can get some VIRAL BUZZ and our
COMMUNITY INFLUENCERS can EVANGELIZE
the PRODUCT SEEDING and create some
SOCIAL MEDIA about it. Then we’ll TWEET
about it and update our FACEBOOK status.
I’M
SORRY, BUT
WTF?
