Nick Cicero, Founder and CEO of Delmondo, joins the Social Pros Podcast to discuss the opportunities for brands and companies to dominate social through Snapchat and Facebook Live.
Every Minute Counts
Every Minute CountsSnapchat has baffled and intimidated a number of marketing professionals since its debut in 2011. Its growing presence among consumers makes it an enticing and lucrative platform to conquer… if we could just figure out how to do it.
Since the average user spends only 25-30mins in the app each day, it comes down to figuring out how to capture as many of those minutes as possible.
As a former host of the Social Pros Podcast, Nick has a deep commitment to advancing the social banner and sharing what he has learned as somebody who lives on the leading edge of technology. One of his specialties is harnessing the power of Snapchat to drive businesses and brands to great heights, particularly through vertical video. His company’s three-pronged approach of strategy, production, and analytics has been trusted by some of the most recognizable brands in the world, including McDonald’s, AT&T, Cisco, and Unicef to name a few.
Nick’s knowledge and consumer insight can help any social pro get their Snapchat plan off the ground.
