If you close your eyes, will the corporate blogging phenomenon go away? No. Corporate blogs are the next generation web sites. They help customers Google you. And if your customers can’t find you online, you don’t exist. Period.

As a social media tool, corporate blogs can be used effectively by any company, large or small. These tools are more powerful at informing, influencing and persuading than traditional forms of marketing and communications. Is your company part of this “new marketing conversation?” Join Melcrum and Debbie Weil, a corporate and CEO blogging consultant, to learn how to use blogging as a business communications strategy.
