Mom Blogger of LoveThatMax, Ellen Seidman discusses the need for healthy living tips for moms of special needs children. Recorded at the Editor Showcase: Modern Moms.


Some of Ellen’s VlogViews:

“I am the parent of a special needs child. And I wanted to reach out to other moms in the same situation. I went through a lot after he was born and I know what it’s like, and I wanted to connect with these other moms.”

“[At the editor showcase] I was interested in seeing what kind of products there are for healthy living. Any parent wants to bring up their kid healthfully and eat right, but when you have a kid with special needs, you’re really focused on nutrition so I came here to check that out and see what might be of help to my readers.”

Phil Mooney, Coca-Cola

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Phil Mooney, Chief Archivist for Coca-Cola, discusses how he is using social media to achieve his communications goals through his blog, Coca-Cola Conversations.

Some of Phil’s VlogViews:

“[When starting the blog] we started to build on what already existed, one hundred and twenty three years worth of rich history. There is an incredible fan base out there already who love Coca-Cola history, love the brand. So it seemed to be a logical place for us to go.”

“We’ve got a variety of different kinds of posts, on historical events, packaging intros, great events in history, we do video posts as well…historical pieces of the archives, as well as behind the scenes interviews.”

“What I can say after a year in this is that it has worked really well for us. We’ve got about 5,000 people coming to the site each day…We see that audience growing…It’s just a fun place to go to get a little bit of pop culture and a little bit of history.”

Stephanie J. Anderson, Sylvania

Friday, March 13th, 2009

Stephanie Anderson, Head of Communications and Chief Spokesperson for Sylvania, discusses the challenge of a company being the “number 2 guy” and how a company can overcome that.

Some of Stephanie VlogViews:

“We’re essentially the Pepsi, if you will, of our industry. But what I find as a communicator is it gives you a tremendous opportunity to be different, to really step outside of the traditional mold and do something that is compelling and engaging not only for consumers but also for business.”

“One of the areas where we have seen the most engagement is with mommy bloggers, there is a whole community of women out there who are interested in money saving, environmentally consciousness products for their homes and for their kids and that’s something we continue to build on.”

“I think the most important thing is authenticity. You’ve got to have a true technological breakthrough, a great product, a great message, and if you have something unique and something valuable to say, the blogosphere is willing to listen.”
