Fun with SMO and Powerpoint

I know, I know. Fun and Powerpoint should not be in the same sentence but bear with me for a moment. Yesterday for work I had to give a short presentation on Social Media Optimization and Social Media Marketing, essentially why I thought our company should persue these outlets more and what my role would be. Well I didn’t really know what to expect or prepare as everyone present has heard me rant and they probably already think I’m a bit of a nutter. So instead of spending hours on a full projection plan, I decided to use my brief prep period to create a powerpoint that would highlight why we should be more involved in the social media landscape.

Here are the results:

   Wow that took way less than 30 seconds for me to watch. Reminds me of the hypercard movie I made in high school.

   Yeah, it’s way professional, eh? You crack me up. Hypercard. For years I’ve been saying that Powerpoint is not much more than a Hypercard ripoff. For years, no one has known WTF Hypercard is.

   I’m glad I can revisit my Jr.High years.

   Thanks!

   Powerpoint is way fun. Can do so much more than bullet points!

   Love your presentation. The “well, duh” effect comes through loud and clear!!! Hopefully, your company heard it!
