PNR 142: US Olympic Committee Makes Huge Social Media Faux Pas

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss Cisco Systems adding 200 content-related roles to the organization.  B-to-C brands are focusing on "micro-moments" and too many brands think they are doing content marketing when they really aren't doing content marketing.  Rants and raves include Coca-Cola and a huge social media mistake from the US Olympic Committee.  This week's TOM Example: Nationwide Insurance.
