final week for social media survey responses

August 24th, 2009 • posts i've written

Hey there.

How ya’ doing?

Just wanted to let you know that we’re coming down the homestretch for responses to the social media practitioner survey.

The survey will close at midnight September 1st.

I need your help to spread the survey. So far we’ve collected about 250 completed responses (which is awesome, but you and I both know that we can do better than that).

But Bud, how can I help?

So glad you asked. Have you blogged about it yet? Have you tweeted it? Have you emailed other people in your company about it? Have you sent it to your clients?

The person that does all of the above is a hero in my book; and I’m strongly considering wearing a t-shirt with your face on it.

But on the serious side, the objective of the survey is to provide a little insight into a growing yet still nascent field.

We hope to answer larger questions like:
Who’s doing the actual work?
What are brands using social media for?
How are these activities being measured?

And more personal questions for practitioners such as:
Am I being paid fairly?
How senior am I compared to others doing the same kind of work?
Where can I find more information about the kind of work I’m doing?

I’m asking for your help, but this time (just this once), it’s not entirely about me. We plan on releasing our full findings along with the data as a free report.

I really do need your help here.

Thank you.
