“My advice for brands is to prepare to live in a world where once again, you will have to pay to be seen, but we’re not there yet. So keep testing, keep producing your content.” @briancamen
“Creating a distinctive voice for yourself on audio is important in order to continue to drive awareness, relevance, and the entire marketing funnel.” @briancamen
Brian’s top tip for young professionals looking to make a career in social is to have a mindset of learning, growing, and developing. This will set you off on the right foot and help you grow throughout your career.
If you could do a Skype call with any living person, who would it be?
Brian would pick Mark Zuckerberg because, as a social pro, many people like Brian wouldn’t have the roles they have today without Facebook. Facebook progressed the social and digital landscape so far, and Brian believes that it’s done a lot of good for a lot of people.
