Doug Simon, President & CEO of D S Simon Productions, spoke with Tom Martin, founder of Converse Digital, about his #lastword campaign, part of the Emma-sponsored Talking with Tom blog. After 31 days of his followers voting on who they think should get the last word, Tom is now seeking out Stephen Colbert using social media only to feature him as the last interview in the series to answer what is next for digital media.
Some of Tom’s VlogViews:
“There are a lot of people talking about mobile; not just in terms of phones but in terms of tablets, iPads and such and how that is fundamentally altering and will alter people’s behavior in terms of how they interface with social media and information.”
“Brands can go to market and not necessarily rely on media to carry their message but they can actually create their own news, their own messages, and go direct to consumer.”
“We shouldn’t be worried about what’s next; we should actually be worrying about doing what’s now better.”
“We had a lot of names that were up for vote. Steve Jobs, I think, came in second. Bill Gates, Arianna Huffington… but the winner by a few percentage points was Stephen Colbert. So now, since really the beginning of September, in addition to securing the interviews I’ve already secured with digital thought leaders, I’m now on a quest to secure the final interview in the last week of December with Stephen.”
