Act Now! Last Chance!

One week. That's all you've got to buy The Age of Conversation at its original price.

As of December 1, the book will no longer be available on Lulu in hardcover, paperback and e-book formats. Instead, Drew & Gavin are moving it to Amazon in an effort to broaden the reach. But with broader reach comes a higher price ($30), as we still need to meet our obligation to the charity we're supporting and also give a cut to Amazon.

If you haven't gotten a copy or two yet, please click on this link to buy yourself or a colleague a copy of the softcover at $16.95 before next Friday. If you would like to place bulk orders, please get in touch with me privately.

And while you're at it, you might want to check out the blogs of my fellow co-authors, to get a sense as to their collective insights and perspective on all things conversational.

About Scott

For hi-res, click here

The best way to describe Scott is "Renaissance Man." Friends and colleagues that know Scott from one facet of his life are very frequently surprised to learn of his interests and talents in other areas.

Scott is a marketing and communications professional focused on the digital industry — specifically on social media. His career spans a number of industries such as healthcare, pharma, biotech, travel, automotive, tech, and communications, and includes a wide range of clients, from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies.

Currently on the staff of corporate communications in Ford Motor Company, Scott heads up the social media function and holds the title Global Digital & Multimedia Communications Manager. He is a strategic advisor on all social media activities across the company, from blogger relations to marketing support, customer service to internal communications and more, as social media is being integrated into many facets of Ford business.

Prior to joining Ford, Scott served as Consigliere for crayon and spent a number of years with PJA Advertising + Marketing, a boutique BtoB agency specializing in health sciences & high tech.

In addition to his consulting and agency background, Scott is an active blogger and podcaster. He writes about the intersection of advertising, marketing and PR at The Social Media Marketing Blog and also writes The Baker Street Blog, a literary undertaking. Scott has been featured in numerous news and business publications, on a variety of podcasts, and on national television. Scott is a recognized thought leader in the social media industry and frequently speaks at industry events.

Scott received his Master's in Medical Science from Boston University's School of Medicine concurrently with his MBA from BU's Graduate School of Management. He lives in the greater Detroit area with his wife and two young sons, golfs all too infrequently, and has a hidden talent for voice over work.

Oh, and one last little-known fact: Scott coined the term "tweetup."
