This Week On (& Around) MarketingProfs

1. Save a seat now for this Thursday's Mobile Marketing: How to Harness the Power of the Small Screen. Mobisix co-founder Michael Foschetti is swimming in industry data about where the dollars are being spent in this advertising media.

Michael will tell you which mobile mechanisms can best reach U.S. consumers, and he'll show you the results of several client campaigns.

2. The MarketingProfs LinkedIn group continues to mushroom. Are you a member? Join here!

By the way, I like Chris Brogan’s take on LinkedIn recommendations as detailed in his post yesterday, Elements of a Good LinkedIn Recommendation. Are you leveraging LinkedIn to its fullest capacity as a "reputation engine," as Chris calls it? Could it be working harder for you?

3. Have you gotten your Fix lately? We introduced three new writers on the MarketingProfs Daily Fix, our daily group blog. Debuting this week and last are Amber Naslund (We Need to Talk, Six Keys to Bringing Up Social Media), Beth Harte (
The Social Media Release from a Marketer's Perspective
), and "social media handyman" Paul Chaney The Social Media Spokesperson. (Paul, by the way, also just landed a book deal on social media marketing from Wiley. Yeah, Paul!)

Thanks for stopping by. As always, your feedback is welcome and encouraged.
