You Have Data, Now What? (Social Media Strategies Summit, SF - 2016) Christopher Barrows
We all have data - but what are we doing with it? At Social Media Strategies Summit (Fall 2016) I discussed a variety of examples of how (and why) we use data in social media. For any questions, inquire with me at CBarrows@gmail.com or tweet me at @CBarrows on Twitter.
At the inaugural C4 Digicon Conference, I delivered the keynote address on "Building Community In The Digital Age: The How And Why".
Please note: Due to the fact that I present with Keynote, there is not a perfect transfer to PowerPoint so some slides may not be viewed optimally. For any questions, tweet me at @CBarrows or email me at CBarrows@gmail.com
Low Level Somatic Variant Detection by Sanger Sequencing of FFPE Samples for ...Thermo Fisher Scientific
DNA sequence variants play an important role in the initiation and progression of many different cancer types. The detection of germline variants at a fixed ratio by gold-standard Sanger sequencing has been well established; however, the detection of somatic mutations, especially in heterogeneous tumor samples where variants may be present at a lower level, has been more challenging. Minor Variant Finder Software (MVF) enables calling of low frequency variants at a detection level as low as 5% using Sanger sequencing.
We have developed gene-specific Sanger sequencing panels covering the entire coding region (all exons) of specific genes (e.g., TP53, KRAS, and NRAS) implicated in tumorigenesis. We initially determined variants of TP53 and KRAS from lung tumor FFPE samples by NGS using the Ion PGM™ System. We confirmed the identity and minor allele frequency of these variants by gene-specific Sanger sequencing panels analyzed by MVF.
To demonstrate the robustness and flexibility of using Sanger sequencing for oncology research, we also included variants across many different solid tumor types in a pan-cancer panel. We tested this workflow with lower amounts of DNA input (10ng, 3ng, 1ng, 0.1ng). Additionally, we have built an extended RAS panel including eight amplicons covering the most important codons (12-13, 59-61, 117 and 146) of KRAS and NRAS genes. The entire workflow and data analysis using MVF was validated on thirty-five FFPE samples derived from colon cancer biopsies by OmniSeq LLC, Buffalo, NY.

Leveraging Social Media Platforms; Techniques and Tools to Monitor and Measure its Effectiveness - IABC Cleveland Technology Petting Zoo – April 14, 2011. Presentation by Michael Pranikoff, PR Newswire Global Director of Emerging Media
The High Five Conference is an annual event hosted by the Triangle AMA that brings creative and marketing together in the Triangle.
This year, Centerline Digital was tasked with managing all social content for the High Five Conference handles on Twitter and Instagram.
Going into the conference, we wanted to be as organized as possible to ensure the channels were populated with engaging content in a timely manner. We divided the tasks to ensure we made the most of our small team:
• Monitoring and responding on Twitter
• Generating original social copy related to sessions and announcements for Twitter
• Taking pictures and creating captions to post on Instagram
• Interacting with attendees
After the event, there was so much activity on the hashtag #High5Conf that we wanted to compile some of the highlightable moments from social content that was shared at the event. Utilizing tools such as Sysomos and Simply Measured, we were able to capture some of those moments and put together a simple and fun recap.
Presentation by PR Newswire Global Director of Emerging Media, Michael Pranikoff at the Inbound Marketing Summit in Boston on October 6, 2010. As the pace of communications continues to speed up, marketers are in a battle for the attention and engagement of their target audiences. The use of tactics like SEO make sure that audiences - whoever they are - can find your content while social media is used to engage with customers. Regardless of whether you are a B2C or a B2B company, the same fight is going on. Content strategies that promote continuous content-within-context is one of the keys to engaging audiences today. Michael Pranikoff, Global Director of Emerging Media for PR Newswire will discuss how PR Newswire has been working with marketing communications professionals all over the world to help them not only reach their core audiences, but how companies are using new continuous strategies to build engagement and direct action through their campaigns. www.prnewswire.com

Social Media Marketing: An End User PerspectiveJohn New
The following slides is from a presentation I gave to the International Trade Council of Greater Kansas City: Wednesday, December 5, 2012.
My presentation covers two broad areas:
Firstly, how new media, i.e. (currently) social media/networks, is changing the world.
Secondly, trust. Trust, is a major factor in owning any digital presence.
Presented from a everyday user's perspective, with practical business applications from some of my favorite social businesses, I recommended three questions to ask any social media specialist/strategist as a basis of developing your social presence.
I use these three key questions when analyzing social media personally and professionally, and I hope that you will be able to use them too.
Disclaimer: All views and opinions in this presentation are derived from my personal research and experience. All copyrights are duly accredited to their originally sources and content creators if not duly expressed in the slides.
This book project is a labour of love for all contributors. Our mission is to promote the power of facilitation worldwide. We are making the book available for free in order to enable and encourage everyone to read it and to share it.
We encourage you to make a voluntary donation, of as much as you are able, to the International Association of Facilitators. Please join us in supporting IAF to promote the power of facilitation worldwide: #FacPower.
A collaborative team of facilitators and visual practitioners formed to write a book to showcase the power of facilitation. Most of the team are members of the International Association of Facilitators, and many are IAF Certified Professional Facilitators.
The book is a compilation of chapters written by different authors, or author teams, designed to promote the power of facilitation. Each chapter connects key perspectives on specific dimensions of facilitation, organisational and community development with the respective authors’ practice and thinking about our craft.
The team has sought to model a facilitative approach to the project throughout.

As part of IABC’s work to develop strategic communicators, we’re looking at the role that mentoring can play. Mentoring (and reverse mentoring) can make a difference at all career stages. And it can make a difference at all ages.
In 2018, the International Executive Board (IEB) established a Task Force to explore current programs and better understand mentoring opportunities for IABC chapters. This Task Force sought to map and share existing good practice from chapters and regions, explore what a Theory of Change for mentoring at IABC should look like and create a framework that includes defining what is a mentor or mentee + types of mentorship.
Drawing on the findings from this hardworking global team - Michael Ambjorn and Michael Nord will show you how to make mentoring work for you.
Sign up for the webinar - and find more resources by searching #IABCmentoring.
Michael Ambjorn is the Chair of IABC’s Mentoring Task Force, and an SCMP. He provides 1:1 advice to Chairs, Chief Executives, and senior leaders on strategy, change and turnarounds. He is particularly interested in how strategic alignment can focus people– enabling renewal and growth. With his colleagues at AlignYour.Org, he facilitates strategy for organizations that want to enable all their people to put a shoulder to the wheel.
Michael Nord is Client Partnership Director at The Fifth Business and a long-term IABCer who has served both on the EMENA and IEB boards. A SCMP-qualified professional who has worked in marcomms for over 25 years, Michael has advised C-suite business leaders in energy, B2B and B2C, as well as enabled technical and HR leaders to engage staff in small and large organisations.
2018 Eurocomm presentation - alignment for performanceMichael Ambjorn
Fast-paced presentation delivered at #Eurocomm18 which brought together comms and change experts from across Europe, the Middle East - and further afield.
The three core ideas in the presentation:
- An invite to step out of the comfort zone and into the learning zone
- A run-through of The Global Standard of the Communication Profession (being an IABC conference and all)
- Concluding thoughts on how performance comes from clarity: understanding of strategic horizons - and alignment to them.
