The inside information that marketers and social media
practitioners have been dying to get their hands on…
It seems like every day another self-appointed social media 'guru’
appears on the scene, offering to sell you his or her 'surefire’
cure for what ails you. Don’t you think it’s time you heard from

delivering their companies’ social media strategies?
Based on extensive interviews with marketing, media and networking
professionals at many of today’s most admired brands and companies,

examples of the social media strategies in place at ADP, Allianz,
Barclaycard, Cisco, Confused.com, Dell, Electrolux, F5, Getty
Images, giffgaff, Go-Ahead Group, HCL, Hobart, Honda, Israel
Foreign Office, Living Social, Macmillan, Nationwide, NHL Minnesota
Wild, Nokia, Play.com, Pw C, Rentokil, Sony Mobile and Xerox.

book for delivering social media strategies more successfully.

you can put to work in your company immediately.

The author of Amazon bestseller The Social Media MBA,
Christer Holloman, has been writing technology trend features for
Sky News online the last three years, reaching over 7 million
readers every month, and was previously the Head of Digital Product

London.
Holloman is a popular keynote speaker with audiences ranging
from business students to C-level executives and is frequently
hired for conferences and corporate events around the world by
clients such as Microsoft, VISA and Ogilvy.
What makes him unique as a journalist and speaker is that he
lives and breathes his topic as he regularly consults for major
companies and tech start-ups on digital business development
projects. That means he won’t be providing theories but
instead up to date hands-on advice that will inspire readers and
delegates.
Europe’s largest regional newspaper The Evening
Standard named Holloman one of London’s most influential
individuals within New Media. Christer Holloman is a member of the
National Union of Journalists and holds a BSc in Business from the
