Do startups need to hire social media experts? - Social Media
June 13, 2011
"I’m not going to talk about why startups should utilize social media and all that other basic stuff. Instead, I’ll focus more on the bottom line aspect of finding out what their purposes and agendas for using social media are, which is a prerequisite before even thinking of hiring a social media expert."

I am very interested in the emerging attitudes to social media 'bringing in the best to be the best'.
Every 'Start Up' should include a social media 'expert' in the executive team or someone who knows someone who does and can bring them on board. You shouldn't 'hire', you should look to them to ignite a social media following from the start. The power of social networks is the following network connections. You have to have a social heart before being a social media 'expert' we make projects fly.
I'm uncomfortable with the term 'expert' when referring to social media, being good at social media is being a good communicator through the medium of digital.
