120 Seconds with Ted Rubin — [Video] The Truth about Social Media

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Social Media with Ted Rubin

Social media. It’s like a drug.

“The way you win in social, and the way you win in 2016-2018 in this digital landscape, is to understand how you communicate. Are you good enough to do it in audio? Are you good enough to do it video? Are you doing it in cartoon form? Are you a great writer?” Gary Vaynerchuk

A few years ago, an article I’d written for my blog on Fast Company, Without The Right Message, Twitter Is No Better For Your Brand Than A Fax Machine, kind of went “viral.”

Yet years later, the entire concept and use of social media seems to still be a bit of an enigma.

Some brands get it. Others simply do not.
