Who is On Your A List? Who is driving the conversation? When 7 = 350 Million When I interviewed David Meerman Scott about his book World Wide Rave (Amazon affiliate link), he told me the story of Cindy Gordon, vice president of New Media and Marketing Partnerships at Universal Orlando Resort. Cindy was in charge of creating a global marketing campaign to promote the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park. She could have spent millions. Instead, she told just seven people. And those seven people told tens of thousands. Gordon estimates that 350 million people around the world heard about the new "Wizarding World", all by her telling seven people.
 Derek Skaletsky Welcome to a Online Savvy Channel of TotalPicture Radio with Peter Clayton reporting. Last week, John Sumser from HRExaminer published his latest Top 25 List of Online Influencers. (Listen to our podcast with John). A key element in HRExaminer's Top 25 Lists is Traackr's Online Authority List a list of individuals steering online conversations about a specific market or topic. Traackr scans the social web to identify the most influential and most relevant people online. Joining us today is Derek Skaletsky, Chief Business Developer at Traackr.
In a recent post on Traackr's blog, titled "Is marketing entering a Post-Demographic Era?", Derek poses the following question: "Lets pretend that you are a marketing exec at a packaged goods company which is on the verge of launching a new, unique laundry detergent. Now lets pretend that I have put together two distinct groups of people to which you could market but you can only choose one. The first group is made up of women, aged 25-45 with an average of 1.7 children and average HH incomes above $75k. The other group is made up of people who are all passionate about laundry and other household chores. Which group would you pick?"
