They're pushing offers instead of longer relationship cycles.

Topics for the free webinar include:

• How to build loyal online communications and engage fans via social media

• How Chris Brogan applied online word of mouth marketing to build his brand-and how can you do the same

• What drives word-of-mouth and online social transmission
• The tools and resources you need in place to ensure success
