Wrap Up of 2nd Annual Community Manager Day: Voices Around the World #CMAD

It’s hard to believe that this desire to thank those on the front lines in digital mediums between customers and companies took off so quickly. The first year, it was just a murmur online and now it’s spread on its own to physical events around the world. I had nothing to do with the first group (Boston) leading the first ever physical event, but then quickly suggested that other regions (even my local area SF) to step up.

What’s success? In year 3 and beyond it just happens on its own, and I don’t have to promote if further, people forget that I spurred it. The real testament if our friends at Hallmark are able to get behind it.

And most importantly, a sincere thanks to those Community Managers are forging the relationships between customers and companies using these new technologies.

Thank you.
