[Biz Takeouts Podcast] 09: The Facebook/Twitter face-off

Lineup

Catch Justin Spratt (@justinspratt), CEO of Quirk and Daniel Levy, CEO of Popimedia Innovations, joining show host Kevin Fine (@TheFinester) in discussing strategic online publicity and marketing techniques such as viral marketing and social media, with outdoor advertising thrown into the mix.

SANEF secretary general Gaye Davis commented on the situation between City Press editor Ferial Haffajee and now former Sowetan columnist Eric Miyeni; SANEF expressed it solidarity with Haffajee while defending Miyeni's right to defend what he likes, "with the proviso that it falls within the bounds of what the constitution allows".

Agency focus was on The Hardy Boys, with client service director Alan Bell.

The news roundup was done by Fine while Bizcommunity's marketing manager Warren Harding (@WazzaBiz) was on leave, and included Chris Moerdyk's marketing assessment that all publicity is good publicity for Malema, Mike Abel's viewpoint on the pitfalls of group buying for brands and Issa Sikiti da Silva's report backs from last week's Joburg Radio Days conference.
