Business Smart Tools
From Successful Conferences to Online Radio Show
From May 2006 - 2009, we presented the Business Smart Tools Conference which focused on educating companies on how to use social media for business. Our conferences, organized by the Creative Concepts team, featured insights from industry leaders like Scott Monty of Ford, Joshua Karpf of Pepsico, and Duane Schultz of Xerox, as well as case studies, workshops and panel discussions focused on the How, What and Why of social media. The conference was one of the first of it’s kind as it broached a subject that only a few dared to think about in 2006, social media for business.
Today, the same kind of forwad thinking that brought you the Business Smart Tools Conference will be bringing you the Business Smart Tools, Innovation in 5 Minutes radio show (still a work in progress) which will go beyond social media and feature innovative brands and brands doing innovative business. The format will be simple. In 5 minutes, we will have our guests share their innovative brand or business process, what pushed them towards innovation, and 3 tips to move innovation forward.
