The Social Media Club of Madison is celebrating its one year anniversary at the same place we kicked off our first year event – the Brocach Irish Pub.
Remember those days back in high school or middle school when you got a surprise valentine from your secret admirer, your Sweetheart? Well, no matter how long ago you were in school, the world has changed through social media. We no longer just have sweethearts – now we have #Tweethearts!
What is a #Tweetheart, you ask? Well, it’s a person who you have connected with on Twitter and you happen to admire – personally or professionally. They might not know it yet, but they will soon – if you come to Social Media Club’s #Tweetheart event, that is!
At this year’s #Tweetheart event, we will:
- be delivering flowers to your #Tweetheart - anonymously if desired
- giving away an awesome gift that you can share with your #Tweetheart (or not)
- holding committee signups so you can get more social media goodness in your life
- be celebrating our one year anniversary with some awesome networking, camaraderie and drinks!
It’s a can’t miss event, so sign up now!
Help us promote this event
What would the Social Media Club be without social media action steps for you to take. Here are a few suggestioins
- If you are going – share with your network on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. Use #tweethearts and #madisonsmc to promote.
- Write a blog post about some recent social media activities you have done and share out event in that blog post.
- If you aren’t attending the event – share the event and just note that you are a “maybe” or “interested”. Why let your network suffer not knowing when you can share the details.
- Know of a community calendar? Add the event in the calendar for us – all the details are at Eventbrite
- Get your flip camera out and interview people you know who are going, post on YouTube, tag it #madisonsmc and #tweetheart and share with your networks
- Make a big red Valentine that you write ” I am taking my #Tweetheart to the Brocach and celebrate with #MadisonSMC. Take a picture of you and your friends with the sign, post on Flickr and Facebook. Share with your network and our Facebook Page. Don’t forget to tag everything.

Jingle MIngle for CASA - Social Media Club of Madison Singing Contest
Well, now Chad has done it! Our new party planner has created a signature song to sing for our upcoming event. So why not have a contest to create some viral videos for our recently created MadisonSMC YouTube Channel? I have challenged my fellow Madison SMC Board members to each create a video and post it to the channel. To get it started I uploaded my version today! Check it out. Read the rest of this entry »
Madison's own Steve Olsen goes on the social media interview of a lifetime!
When I worked at Hiebing, a local ad agency, I was fortunate enough to work with Steve Olsen, who at the time was an account executive. A nice kid, Steve had that go-getter spirit we all love to be around. I knew he’d go on to do great things, but I had no idea what was in store for him. (That being said, he probably didn’t either!)
When Adidas Golf partnered with Yahoo! HotJobs on a social media campaign to search for two candidates who would participate in a head-to-head showdown/globetrotting golf adventure taking them to nine countries on three continents over 50 days, whodathunk a young lad from Wisconsin would make the cut? After more than 1.1 million searches for candidates, Adidas Golf selected Steve to participate in its “Wear in the World Adventure 2″ with the winner earning a chance to become the company’s new social media catalyst.
Okay, so the title is a little hokey. But supporting your local Badger isn’t! It’s super cool to see a local Madison resident on the global social networking scene, and when I learned about Steve’s adventure on Facebook, I couldn’t help but get the word out to our Social Media Club members and allies. Let’s see if we can’t get Steve hired!
Support your local Badger Steve by voting for him online. (Don’t forget to tweet your support on Twitter too – Steve’s Twitter handle is @SteveWITW so help spread the word!) You can also follow Steve’s golf antics via Facebook!
It’s pretty darn cool to see a Badger take the world by storm, even if it is *just* golf. (Kidding!!)
Go get ‘em Steve!
We should all know by now that every person and every company has a brand. Whether you like it or not. And whether it’s right or not.
The key is deciding to manage and control your brand. With Web 2.0 managing your online brand and reputation is something that you need to take seriously. This month the Social Media Club of Madison’s program was Managing Your Social Media Brand. We changed up the format of the meeting with a panel session. It was held at the UW Business School building and seemed to attract a few younger generation attendees. I guess I can say that as I think they certainly were half my age! Our moderator for the evening Steve Schroeder, Director of the Business Career Center at the Wisconsin School of Business, UW-Madison.
The panel consisted of:
Nate Lustig (Entrustet /UW-Madison grad)
Nate Towne (PR Manager, Shine Advertising)
Deborah Mitchell (Executive Fellow in the Center for Brand and Product Management, Wisconsin School of Business)
Ryan Paugh (Co-Founder, Director of Community, Brazen Careerist)
My thoughts
The panel of experts shared best practices and personal insight into maintaining a responsible and effective social media brand. The crowd was very engaged by both seasoned veterans and college students alike. The advice, from my perspective, was pretty solid on privacy, cleaning up your image, and the real benefits of using social media and social networking sites to showcase your personal brand
You couldn’t have found a more diverse group to cover the range of experience, from startup/entrepreneur, to academia, and to real world. Some of the interesting questions asked were about profiles, user names and the mixing of social and business on different social media networking sites.
Nate Towne, with his effervescent personality that carries online very well, represents clients in the social space with his PR Manager role. He spoke about his choice of user names, how it represents him but not his clients so he doesn’t use his personal accounts for his work. Nate Lustig spoke about his blogging style and how he keeps his personal blog separate from his company blog perhaps due to his topics. Deborah Mitchell related stories about students and how she might counsel them to adjust their language and picture inclusion on FaceBook. And Ryan Paugh talked about being honest with yourself about goals while blogging for himself and Brazen Careerist.
Wondering what to wear while sitting on a panel in front a 50 person audience? Yes, Argyle!
I liked this presentation and the panel style. Perhaps a student on the panel (moderator?) talking about the view from their side would have added something to the evening. Although two of the panelist were likely in their mid – late twenties, a real student might have challenged the overall message. That being – maybe they do not have to conform to business standards to succeed. Would Facebook or Google ever have started up if those students worked with a corporate mindset?
Your thoughts
I interviewed Nate Lustig after the panel session and had these three tips for personal branding:
Rachel, a UW Madison Student, offered the insights she gained from the meeting:
