Summary: (http://www.closingbigger.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wizardpic.jpg) At Socialized! our Social Media Agency (http://socialized.me) we have had some incredible opportunities over the past year to work with brands such as the Ford Dealers Association of BC and Alberta, the Certified Management Accounts (http://cmabcblog.com), CGA BC, CGA Canada and the Make-a-Wish Foundation. However...even producing the week long event "Social Media Week Vancouver (http://socialmediaweek.org/vancouver)" did not prepare us for the passionate, loyal and often opinionated fans at Wizard World Comic Cons (http://wizardworld.com). This is a relatively new adventure for us but this podcast reviews 5 social media lessons I have learned (or re-learned) so far: 5 Lessons (Listen to the podcast (http://closingbigger.net/socialmediapodcast/wizardworld.mp3) for a full explanation): * Tapping into a Tribe is much better than building one * When people know you’re listening they talk, share, tweet, like and follow * Amplify the moment * Run contests to find influencers * Partner to expand influence Here are some of the links and resources mentioned in the podcast: * Tribes By Seth Godin (http://www.amazon.com/Tribes-We-Need-You-Lead/dp/1591842336) Wizard World Comic Con Sites and Resources * Wizard World Event and News Site (http://wizardworld.com) * Wizard World Comic Con Blog (http://wizardworlddigital.com) * Wizard World Facebook Page (http://facebook.com/wizardworld) * Wizard World on Twitter (http://twitter.com/wizardworld) Social Media Monitoring: * Viral Heat (http://viralheat.com) * Tweet Reach (http://tweetreach.com) Socialized!
