Inside WikiBrands: The Six Benefits of Wiki Brand Advocacy • Measurement and Metrics • Community Management • The B-to-B Wiki Brand • The Personal Wiki Brand • 25 Things to Know in 25 Minutes The WikiBrands Publishing Journey The book: Launched from branding guru Don Tapscott's landmark $10 million research project on the intersection of technology and business models, WikiBrands explain what your business needs to do NOW to embrace the power of p-2-p technologies like word-of-mouth, user generated content, social media, microblogging, crowdsourcing, and customer rating systems to engage customers and enlist them in brand building and value-enhancement. So, if print is dead and technology books face obsolescence before they even reach the shelves, why would we even take on the project? At Toronto Wiki Tuesday, we'll answer this question as well as discuss: - Key lessons learned about the writing process - Finding an agent and writing the proposal - What to expect in the editing process - The pros and cons of self-publishing - Marketing the book About our Speaker Mike Dover is the Managing Partner of Socialstruct Advisory Group.
