Wer es noch nicht kennt, das Social Media Watchblog, und mit dem Thema zu tun hat, sollte es kennen lernen. Ich habe schon oft beruflich davon profitiert und kann es sehr empfehlen. - Nicola
Moin, am Freitag!
Zum Wochenabschluss wage ich noch ein kleines Experiment. Wie du vielleicht mitbekommen hast, teile ich auf socialmediawatchblog.de/radar öffentlich viele Texte, Studien, Videos, Podcast-Episoden und News, die ich für relevant halte. Nicht alles davon landet im regulären Briefing. Aus Platzgründen und weil ich in Zeiten von KI-Briefings darin auch nicht mehr den eigentlichen Mehrwert meiner Arbeit sehe. Gern teile ich aber trotzdem weiterhin mit dir, was ich lese und was mir begegnet.
Heute möchte ich dir daher einmal testweise alle Links der Woche im Überblick per E-Mail zukommen lassen. Ist das hilfreich? Bietet das einen Mehrwert für deine Arbeit? Falls ja, dann kann ich das gern am Freitagvormittag etablieren. Quasi als Wochenrückblick, um noch einmal zu prüfen, ob dir vielleicht eine News durchgegangen ist.
Freue mich über Feedback!
Merci, Martin
PS: Falls du mir auch einen Shoutout senden magst, freue ich mich sehr!
