Please find below the 2 videos of the Word of Mouth Marketing Conference in Warsaw I was invited to speak at a few weeks ago (thanks to Streetcom):
People from all over the world joined us at the Marketing2.0 Conference... There were even some from Belgium like Caroline Maerten from Rolling Talks who decided to podcast me for the Interact Congress Blog. This is the blog of the Interact Congress for Online Advertising and Media in Europe, that will take place in Berlin on 2-3 June 2008 under the tagline “Connecting European E-Marketing“.

POST stands for People, Objectives, Strategy, Technology. An interesting simple & efficient method to start with dealing with 2.0 for a brand :

It is all about conversation ;)
