That's right.... Twitter, Facebook, Linked in and the rest of the social media world has spoken and they want Stephen Colbert to have the #LastWord.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you can get the backstory on my #LastWord project sponsored by Emma.
Emma double dog dared me to accept a challenge to find and convince one of eight kind of famous folks:
Stephen Colbert, Bill Gates, Arianna Huffington, Steve Jobs, Marissa Mayer, Kevin Rose, Chris Sacca and Sheryl Sandberg.
To agree to be interviewed by me for my Digital Thought Leader blog - TalkingWithTom.
Well the vote was tallied and Mr. Colbert was selected. Now I have the balance of the year to find, contact and convince the awesome one to agree to do a live streaming interview with me the last week of December and serve as the official #LastWord on "What's Next" in the world of digital marketing and advertising. And I can ONLY use social media platforms to do it. So let's just hope Stephen and Kevin Bacon are buds!
Think I can do it? Wanna follow along to see the journey and if I'm successful? If you do, just head over to Talking With Tom's Last Word experiment and subscribe to the blog. You'll get updates on my progress plus a chance to hear what the other 51 thought leaders answer when they weigh in on "What's Next?"
So, one last question before I embark on my journey... anyone buddies with Stephen Colbert, have a buddy who knows Stephen or can help put me one step closer? Comments are open... please help! ;-)
