Agency For Social Media Seeks Volkswagen!
While keeping up with the what’s what in social media, a few of us here at the ASM factory indulge our vanity on the Google from time to time and see how we rank. Imagine our surprise when a search yesterday let us know that “Volkswagen Seeks Agency for Social Media.”
Wow. Volkswagen wants us. Well VW, you’ve got our attention. Our phone lines are open, and come tomorrow morning one of us (either Volkswagen or Agency for Social Media) will be picking up the phone and sorting out the time differences between Tiburon and Wolfsburg. (more…)
We’re ready right now. VW, we’ve got a strategy for your social media and a way to integrate the new media with your existing plans. We’ve got ways to build VW communities around the globe, build viral interest for new products, manage your tweets at major events, keep your Facebook pages magnets, and bring new and old customers back to your dealers when it’s time to swap wheels. And thanks to our relationship with another client, accolo, we can staff faster and better in any language and any place than anybody else on the planet.
We’ll be ready for our meeting even if you want to meet us at 9:00 AM in person tomorrow morning in San Francisco. We’ll pack the ASM top team into Max’s GTI and show up in a real driver’s car.
