Amy Sinclair

Amy Sinclair: a veritable guru of PR from the city of San Fransisco.

I want to say one thing first: I getting tired of the Social Media Revolution 2 video. I've watched it four times in the past week, and I have that song by Fatboy Slim stuck in my head.

Now, to the presentation…

I want to start out by saying that Mrs. Sinclair definitely knows what she’s talking about. As a speaker she’s very clam and speaks very clearly. Even when she got asked a question that she couldn’t answer, she maintained her composure and gave an intelligent response.

You don’t really get a sense of how far social media can reach unless you really look into it. I don’t remember the last time I watched TV on a regular basis; it had to have been before I got my laptop. Anyway, I still remember all the ads that I would watch all day for products I never would have considered buying, whether it be some piece of workshop equipment or the network trying to sell me on watching a show I’d never consider giving a minute of my time to.

Now, when I visit my Facebook page, the advertisements are all catered to my liking. It makes the ads feel more personal and makes me feel more comfortable in purchasing what they sell. Something like this wouldn’t be around if it weren’t for social media.
