Naomi Mutua   The following influencer tips were shared by Naom i Mutua in one of her Twitter sessions where she shares ideas about social media and how to become a digital media rock star. "I have been on both sides... as an influencer and as an agency rep. However... there are some things that creatives / influencers can do to improve their value and uptake of their work. This is strictly my opinion. "- Naomi Mutua 1. On influencers: You must be clear on your work and your niche.

THREAD: PART 01: After 3 months of real meditation and research, Here is What I Think the Future of Social Media Marketing is Going to be. Please read Every single insight here because it matters. Enjoy 1. Social Media is the new age of media and the arena of attention. It is therefore very important for brands to fully lay a foundation to be able to remain relevant in the market. 2.

By Mike Kordvani: Launching a startup is the dream of many. However, starting a startup that finds success is by no means a guarantee not matter how hard you work. The key to turning a killer idea into a killer business is to work both smart and hard, and one of the smartest decisions a leader of a startup could ever make is to choose not to work in an ordinary office building but to instead to go with a collective office.   What exactly is a Collective Office? A collective office is office space with an open floor plan that you can rent by the day, week, or month. Due to its open layout, a collective office often has a variety of different clients all working on their own businesses and dreams at the same time.
