[...] Are you a Social Media or Marketing expert? Posted on Wednesday, November 26th, 2008 in Marketing – Comments: (8) I was prompted into this by a recent post from a so called ‘expert’ who clearly didn’t think out his post and what reactions would come before he posted!Social marketing is the systematic application of marketing along with other concepts and techniques to achieve specific behavioral goals for a social good.

There is a lot of negative talk right now about "social marketing experts" and I think you keyed into the "expert" part. The funny thing is, you completely ignored the part about social marketing. Social MEDIA marketing is pretty big right now, and because it's a new field, it's difficult to determine who's an expert. However, social marketing (as mentioned in the quote, referring to behaviour change) is NOT a new field. Referring to the wikipedia entry on social marketing (interestingly enough, from which your quote appears to be pulled), social marketing as a discipline has been around since the 1970s. There is an academic journal and academic programs dedicated to the field. It has NOTHING to do with how often you blog or tweet. Experts in the social marketing field? Those who are published and have made advances in the field. I'd mention Nedra Weinreich and R Craig Lefevre, who don't just blast into an echo chamber but work within an established field to offer content of value.

It’s especially frustrating when these so-called experts, faced with the mistakes they made, keep telling everyone there’s nothing wrong with their ideas, but it’s all about the execution…
That’s just a load of crap… If there’s one business that shouldn’t have any experts at all it’s marketing… it’s all about gutfeelings and has too many variables to come to exact conclusions. The only thing people can do is follow that feeling and hope they don’t make the same mistake twice. Cause we make mistakes, more often than we succeed actually. (or is that just me? :) If so… hope my boss isn’t reading)

“opinions are like assholes, everyone has one”
(Can’t remember who said it, but it fits just right in this discussion)

I watched a Tv program and they were talking about composers and that their true master pieces were created when they were grey and old becasue it took them so long to master there niche. I guess if you work at something long enough you could call your self an expert but you may only but an expert in a certian part of you job eg. web designer > coder > php coder < expert at php not expert web designer or expert coder. can you cover all the social medias and market everything, do the same rules apply! I think i might start calling myself a scientist because i like experimenting with certain mediums but by no means an expert.
