This is an interesting blog. I wonder if it should be part of the network even though he is a publisher?

Since he's speaking next week at Laity Lodge I wanted to send along this tribute post by his son on Father's Day. Perhaps Christian George is a good candiate for the blog network?

Love this article....basic, good stuff..

"Gaining maturity means improving the ability to tie objectives to specific metrics. Marketers in the strategic phase are significantly more likely than those in earlier phases of the process to measure their success across all objectives. An increase in Website traffic was the No. 1 objective targeted and measured by all marketers." "Defining specific objectives for a social marketing initiative is only half the battle. The other half is aligning those objectives with corresponding metrics," according to the report. "This alignment is important because it enables an organization to measure its progress in achieving the objectives and proving ROI." MarketingSherpa found that retail and e-commerce marketers were more likely than any other industry to be increasing their social media marketing budgets next year, followed by publishing and media. Education and healthcare lagged, with less than one-half of marketers in the industry planning to up social media spending in 2010. Most social marketing dollars (60%) next year will go toward staff salaries for activities such as blogging, content development and monitoring of social channels. Another two-fifths will be spent on outside help from agencies, consultancies and service providers.
