Through the Noise #209

Bryan Fratkin // Founder // Spark Influence

Today we are excited to welcome back Bryan Fratkin who joined us last July on Episode 85 (can you believe that was a year ago? Listen to it here as SparkInfluence was getting off the ground. SparkInfluence connects associations and advocacy organizations with marketing — integrating all the different platforms typically used separately and simplifying the process. Many organizations adopt the non-policy of latching onto any new piece of technology without a plan and use only a fraction of its capacity — wasting the time of their staff and supporters as well as financial resources. Don’t miss this episode if you’ve ever been frustrated by the abundance of technology, trying to keep up, or getting your message across in a uniform way across all platforms.
