Earlier this week I spoke in Atlanta at the New Business from Social Media workshop. As I mentioned in a previous post about Why Ad Agencies Are Not Getting Social Media, there are several reasons agencies have yet to buy-in to learning and participating in social media, including:

• too time intensive
• do not understand how they can make money at it
• overwhelmed by it
• do not get how to integrate it with traditional media
  
• were already deficient with interactive
• speed of its popularity, can’t keep up
• creative staff feels it is a trend

I was asked to discuss the importance of agency buy-in when approaching social media. Dave Currie, President of Catapult New Business, has highligthed my presentation on his blog for those who might be interested.
