PNR 142: US Olympic Committee Makes Huge Social Media Faux Pas

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert discuss Cisco Systems adding 200 content-related roles to the organization.

Rants and raves include Coca-Cola and a huge social media mistake from the US Olympic Committee. This week's TOM Example: Nationwide Insurance.
