Let the customer tell their story. “The customer is the hero. The customer is the marketer.” - @markwschaefer #ACECurrents #Marketing

[Barbara Chamberlin @bchamber]

Most powerful marketing message: “You DO belong. AND, you belong with US.” People want to belong, they want community, they want to be validated. We can help them do that. @markwschaefer #ACECurrents

Definitely our challenge at university research...let them know the hands that made it.

[Barbara Chamberlin @bchamber]

Why do you buy *this* handcrafted soap? asked @markwschaefer “I don’t know that I like the soap, but I love the hands that made it.” Important lesson for universities offering knowledge. #ACECurrents

Mark Schaefer is talking to ACE this morning. Advertising is dying, loyalty is a myth, customers are turning to social media and word of mouth. Emotional connection is to a person, not a product. We have to do things different to connect with customers. #acecurrents

[Victor Villegas @OSUExtTech]

Nice to see such a great gathering of ACE members together! Make sure to reach out and connect with new people you haven’t met before. #ACECurrents

[Kay Ledbetter @skledbetter]

[Kay Ledbetter @skledbetter]

[Victor Villegas @OSUExtTech]

The conference is finally here! Looking forward to seeing everyone soon. Registration starts at noon in the ballroom. #ACECurrents

25,000 people die a day of hunger related diseases. If you don't like our approach w/ innovation & tech, provide us an alternative instead of a $$$$ PR & social media campaign. That won't save starving children.

How much has it rained in the Texas Rolling Plains this year? Well, enough to grow tadpoles in the triticale block at Chillicothe.
