How much is a Facebook fan worth?
There has been a lot of discussion about this topic lately, among brands and marketers alike, that are struggling to quantify the value of social marketing efforts. Here in Albany, a local car dealership has been advertizing a $50 incentive to become their fan on Facebook. Another company has come up with a formula that they consider to be a scientific method of putting a dollar value on a fan, while other marketers rebut this formula as inaccurate.
So, who is right?

In our regular installment of Conversatiated, two Media Logicians share an ongoing dialogue about marketing issues and challenges in a conversation-centric world. In Part 1 of this series, Josh and Fred debate whether social media has ushered in a prevailing trend of individualism or community. How has modern technology and social media affected both? And what does it mean for marketers?
Watch their conversation and hear their thoughts…
Here at Media Logic, we’ve been busy working out social media for older adults…
In our recent work with Healthways SilverSneakers Fitness Program, we’ve discovered that older adults are readily embracing social media – to share health, fitness and life goals –by increasing engagement among a mature audience by twenty-fold in just a few months.
We have a Firestone Complete Auto Care Store across the street from our office here at Media Logic. They mainly sell tires and do some other car care maintenance. I hadn’t been in the store in a year or so, but this week I had to stop in to get my wiper blades replaced (I know, I should’ve gone to Pep Boys and saved $20, but I didn’t).
Upon entering the store it was clear that the interior had been completely overhauled since my last visit. They did a really nice job. It was as if Firestone decided to tap the modern marketing ethos – facilitate conversation and establish authenticity – as their design inspiration.
In this installment of Conversatiated, Media Logic Account Supervisors Josh and Fred discuss how an effective conversation-centric marketing strategy requires more than just great personality to garner engagement and loyalty.
