Radio was the must-go place for breaking news, community updates, and entertaining personalities… sound familiar?
See radio personality Jeff Dauler at the first-ever AllTwitter Marketing Conference, June 4 in San Francisco. With over two decades of experience growing audiences, Jeff has taken his radio programming knowledge and applied it to social media.

The same rules that made radio stations great and air personalities larger-than-life can be applied to brands and people on Twitter. The concepts are simple. Once you hear them and hear how your favorite radio station uses them, you’ll never use Twitter (or listen to the radio) the same way again.
