Social Media Professionals Are Needed!

Recently David Meerman Scott wrote about the problem me and many managers and marketers are facing.

In blog post entitled When marketing in the Netherlands you need to get Heeves, he pointed to a problem that in different countries there are different leaders in social media platforms. If you want to be successful in such country, you should know local habits very well.

Social media professionals are needed!

In my consulting practice I work with high-level managers, usually CEOs, on marketing strategy issues in web 2.0 age.

Because I am from a small country I understand that if you want to reach broad audience in any non-US area, you should know local habits, preferences. And of course, local language.

Yes, the local language, because not everyone in the world speaks English.

Who can help understand local issues? Who can help represent companies in those countries?

Obvious answer – local social media professionals. They can be former journalists or freelancers or even companies, specializing in media and social media.

But in every country you need different specialists who understand local preferences, who know local culture and habits.

Social media professionals around the world are needed!

The problem arises here: where to find contacts of those brilliant specialists in every country in the world?

Today my clients are seeking help in social media marketing in USA (especially Los Angeles area), Scandinavia – Sweden, Netherlands, Norway , Denmark, also Germany, Japan, Canada, Russia.

But I can’t help them. I know tendencies globally, but how to deal locally in countries around the world? Especially, when many internet surfers there do not even speak English.

I need resources for my existing and future clients from where they can choose a partner to implement social media strategy in local level. I assume many more marketers need the same.
