Lets get it straight. The only reason this article is written, the sole reason of its existence is, that RIP Facebook is trending in Twitter. Why on earth why? Who started it? And why, really, why? But to get most out of the trend, lets do like the tabloids do and twist the tale a bit: RIP Facebook – Social Business is here and according to latest reports, you’re failing in it.
Some say that there are 10 things, that are needed for a good advertising agency / brand owner relationship, some suggest there are 20 things, and I bet someone has made a list of 101 things that are needed for the perfect partnership, which not only produces creative results, but drives sales and profit.

It is now official: The “What People Think I Do / What I Really Do” meme has overtaken the “Sh*t People Say” meme to become the latest sharing fad. It has to be, I read it from Mashable.
There’s a one to share about journalists, directors, tech geeks, girl gamers, art students, chemistry professors, teachers, sales men, vegetarians, doctors, graphic designers, social media managers, PR people, entrepreneurs, librarians, cartoonists, etc. Myriad really, like a true meme should have.

There’s also very strong and well documented evidence, that shows a great customer experience is one of the key revenue drivers for sustainable and often accelerated growth.
Still, even if all CEO’s at your dinner table would acknowledge and agree upon this importance, not much of the superior customer experience is been actually delivered.
