This week, April 30, Weds, 9PM Eastern, interact live with marketing and pr strategy expert Geoff Livingston and business and social media powerhouse Aaron Brazell. These guys merit a show each devoted to himself, so this episode is going to overflow with Par-tay-licious goodness.
Geoff will talk about the importance of an integrated PR and Marketing strategy where social media and traditional outreach complement each other to help organizations reach clearly defined goals. He will also give us an update on the Blog Potomac conference “This year’s premiere social media marketing event for greater Washington DC,” which is coming up on June 18.
Aaron “Technosailor” Brazell will discuss the value of what he calls social media presence marketing. Aaron is a maestro of this emerging form of marketing, and it seems a natural direction for many of us in the DC area, the land of the crackberry.
We’ll also check in with them on their take on the state of the DC social media scene.
And while we have both of them in the studio, we’ll ask them about their different takes on the the recent Loren Feldman sadismparody shenanigans.

If you are a Gen X-er and have ever worked with boomers, they probably drove you crazy, and vice versa. Why? Different generations have different values and different ways of seeing the world. If you are trying to communicate with people from a different generation, a little knowledge goes a long way.
This week on Jonny’s Par-tay, Jessie Newburn will tell us how to tailor your marketing communications to connect with particular generations, with a focus on social media marketing.
We will look at the following generations:
Silent Generation (born 1924-42)
Boomers (born 1943-60)
Generation X (born 1961-1981)
Millenials (born 1982-2002?)
Homeland Generation (2002?-present)
Here’s an iconic movie from the youth of Gen X
How different is it from this movie designed to connect with the Millennial Generation?
What: A live online interactive video free for all with featured guest, generational marketing maven, Jessie Newburn, hosted by the one and only Jonny Goldstein. When: 9-10 PM EST, Weds, April 9
