Welcome to episode #193 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #26 of Media Hacks. The Ninja (aka Christopher S. Penn) talks about his new gig at Blue Sky Factory, but the main thrust of the conversation is about what happens to a company when someone with a major personal brand (like Ninja had for the financial aid industry) leaves and starts in another industry? What happens to the brand? How trusted is the personal brand of the individual? Along with that we graze through a bunch of topics from mobile and iPhone apps to the pending launch of the iPad. We even take a sneak peek at where C.C. Chapman won't be during SXSW (hint: it's in line waiting to get into parties) and have a chat about the power of email for Marketers (and where it's going), plus lots more. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #192 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Joseph Jaffe is widely regarded as one of the top Marketing Bloggers (Jaffe Juice) and Podcasters (both Jaffe Juice in audio and Jaffe Juice TV in video). He is the author of three excellent books (Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation and the newly minted, Flip The Funnel). Along with that, he is currently one of the chiefs over at the Social Media Marketing agency, Powered. A long time friend (and one of the main inspirations behind the Six Pixels of Separation Blog and Podcast), we've decided to hold monthly conversations, debates and back-and-forths that will dive a little deeper into the Digital Marketing and Social Media landscape. This is our second conversation, and it focuses on the role of traditional marketing agencies and how they stack up against us New Marketing types (and vice-versa). Enjoy the conversation...

Chapman came in and was able to host the intro (I was a little late to the call) where we discuss a whole bunch of stuff that surrounds some bigger themes about privacy, security, publishing and opening up the platforms. There's talk about Please Rob Me, Foursquare, Wired Magazine, the TED conference and much, much more. Please note: this episode does have language, so it is not work safe. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #190 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Joseph Jaffe is a Marketer though and through (some have even called him the "Marketer's Marketer" - and, if no one has called him that, then I am!). Along with being the Chief Interrupter for a Social Media Marketing agency called, Powered, Jaffe is also the author of three amazing and best-selling business books titled, Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation and the just-released, Flip The Funnel. He also has a very popular Marketing Blog, Jaffe Juice, and his own audio and video Podcast, Jaffe Juice TV. He is not shy to speak his mind, and in this episode of Six Pixels of Separation we discuss his latest book, Flip The Funnel, and why the customer is not always right (even though they are, and should be celebrated a whole lot more). Enjoy the conversation...
