To Specialize or Not to Specialize That is the Question

In the last couple of weeks I've attended seminars on Mobile marketing (which finally seems to be coming into it's own), social media, online metrics and search optimization.  Each one is a specialty unto it's own.  So how does the average Joe, or Jill know everything?

You can't.  At this crossroad in my career I have a choice:  focus only on social media, search or mobile - OR - stay up to date with what's happening in each so I can retain and manage agencies or specialists.

Social and Mobile are the shiny new toys grabbing everyone's attention - and with good reason.  But as a consultant, or as a marketing director for a company - it's my job to know what media platform will work best for my client or product - and how to use each of them in concert with each other. 

The bottom line has to be - what is the right mix for THIS product and/or target.

OK - now back to the webinars!
