“It’s an easy/universal read, with a mix of interesting case studies and real-life examples. What I do want to emphasize on, is the value of the content, especially for a marketing/sales professional. The book allows you to be human, and demonstrates how you can work on yourself- socially! It closes the gap between the real you and the social you; and at the same time covers some important etiquette on social media empowering you to build a humanist narrative for yourself and your business that will lead to long term success. ”

Greg KavanaghPrincipal & Director Branded Culture
“I found it a refreshingly clear and concise breakdown of how to use social media to promote a business. I liked how the book talks about the importance of having a narrative strategy while also measuring engagement and on site metrics with Facebook. Also as someone who gets a lot of unsolicited connection requests on LinkedIn followed immediately by a hard sales pitch I found myself nodding along to your section on the do’s and don’ts of LinkedIn marketing”
Edward BrooksSenior Manager Digital Marketing South Australian Tourism Commission
“Like everything in marketing, there’s much more to it than meets the eye – and social media is no different, requiring clear thinking and strategy up-front if you want to maximise your return on investments. To that extent, Simone offers a practical, no-nonsense, best-practice guide to help any business owner prepare, plan and manage their social media channels more effectively and – most importantly – ensure it returns value. ”
