SPOS #236 – The Histories Of Social Media With Jonathan Salem Baskin

Welcome to episode #236 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. There are few global branding strategist who are like Jonathan Salem Baskin. He’s had one of those careers that any Marketer would be jealous of. Having spent close to three decades in the branding and advertising world, Jonathan’s resume is a who’s who of the top brands in the world. Along with that, he is a prolific writer and thinker. We first connected in 2008 when his book, Branding Only Works On Cattle, came out because we share the same editor and publisher (Grand Central Publishing – Hachette Book Group). He then went on to write the book, Bright Lights & Dim Bulbs. Most recently, he has published a fascinating new book titled, Histories Of Social Media (which is a must-read). Along with that, Jonathan is a Blogger over at Dim Bulb and a bi-weekly columnist for Advertising Age. His opinions on Marketing, Social Media and the new world of branding will get you thinking. Enjoy the conversation…
