He introduces the technologies, strategies, and tactics… identifies high-value opportunities to utilize them… and presents up-to-the-minute techniques for campaign goal-setting, planning, platform selection, and execution. You'll discover best practices based on Turner's own cutting-edge experience; opportunities to integrate well-known services like Facebook, Yelp, and Groupon; and indispensable insights into privacy "mistakes to avoid."
