Bill Carmody is the CEO of Trepoint, a marketing agency that provides performance-focused services to challenger brands. Bill has spent his entire career in the agency world, from early positions at Modem Media, Ogilvy & Mather, and Marden-Kane to his first entrepreneurial endeavor as Co-Founder & CMO of the Seismicom agency.
 
Bill is also an accomplished author, public speaker, and leadership coach. He’s generously offered to provide All Things Video listeners with a free one-hour coaching session, available on his website: http://billcarmody.com/atv

In this episode, we discuss how to measure the ROI of social media, and Bill shares some useful benchmarks for social influencers’ audience and engagement rates. We also consider the longtail value of influencer marketing campaigns based on the value of permanent media placements. Finally, Bill offers his advice on how to differentiate as a services business and encourages entrepreneurs to consider their “minimum viable audience” in addition to developing a minimum viable product.
