No, you're nothing like that Pete… you don't even have a beard like that or a tight t-shirt.

Seriously though, it's been said before, but there are a lot of snake oil salesmen and women out there. What you tend to offer is an approach some tools, but more importantly you ask questions about why people want to engage with social media and what they want to get out of it… you give some rigour and context to this work, and you are rooted in it – which is rare

Then you charge them 5000 euros!

You are an expert (using that definition that my mate Andy Bass uses – “An expert is someone who comes from somewhere else and brings slides”.)
