I could also sum it up with my quote from the press release about the launch of the Emerging Media Practice:
“Consumers are already talking about the brands we work with, so we’re able to amplify the conversations and bring our clients from the sidelines into the center of these communities. We’re helping our clients contribute to the conversations, build relationships with their most vocal constituents, and communicate in a very personal way with the people who are most eager to listen."
