About Social Media Today
Profile
Steven Van Belleghem
Bio:
Steven is the author of the best selling new book "The Conversation Manager" in which he argues that traditional advertising no longer works. Read his fresh perspective on how brands can operate successfully in co-operation with today's consumer with conversation at the heart of that relationship.
Over the past years, the internet has evolved from a static to a social platform. This evolution has an impact on the way consumers communicate and take purchasing decisions. Unfortunately, most advertisers have failed to evolve along. Traditional advertising no longer works. Advertisers need to change their day-to-day working methods. The gap between the contemporary consumer and the traditional advertiser is growing on a daily basis.
Steven offers a solution to this challenge: a change of trajectory from advertiser to Conversation Manager. Listening to and conversing with consumers is a necessary talent to retrain as a Conversation Manager.

And how we appear in photographs on the web-- and specifically on Linkedin--can be critically important to our personal brands and our messages. The research you cite about warm and cold impressions is critical to how we are perceived. Thanks for the insightful post, Victoria, and I'm looking forward to the future posts. ...”
