There are many agencies and “social media marketers” that simply take your money and post comment spam on blogs.

Social media marketing isn’t the problem. The problem is a lack of ethics and, perhaps, of experience. In this session, community managers and agency veterans alike will come together to talk about ethical marketing in social spaces, including blogger and community outreach, how to do it right and what to look out for when considering an agency.
