Interview Diane Rayfield Harp Social (Podcast)

August 4, 2010 By 4 Comments

Tonight I interviewed Diane Rayfield of Harp Social on Blogtalkradio. I invited Diane because I wanted to integrate more social media related guests into my podcast. Diane is the founder and CEO of Harp Social where she leads a team of social media, SEO and online marketing professionals to strategize, manage and evolve integrated online marketing for businesses. I met Diane at Amplify.com a social networking site that I have blogged about frequently. I always enjoy talking social media with people like Diane because I learn from them and the energy is upbeat and inspiring. Diane and I really covered a lot of ground during the interview, but her area of expertise is Strategy, Metrics and Inbound Marketing – “Getting Found”. Here are some highlight areas you can expect to learn more about if you listen to the entire episode:

  1. Location Based Marketing (Yelp, Foursquare and Gowalla)
  2. Monitoring/Metrics (Radian6, Google Alerts, Social Mention and Hootsuite)
  3. Amplify.com
  4. Facebook Pages
  5. Video Marketing (Including Youtube)
  6. Social Media Policies
