influency lives!

Welcome influency, the first blog from fluency your friendly neighborhood social media and digital branding consultancy. It’s funny but there is a saying that the tailor’s children are always the ones without clothes, turns out the same holds true for digital consultancies. Anyway this is our first (but not the last) blog. influency will focus on one thing helping you make the sense (and cents) of what’s happening in the social media landscape.

Unlike other SM blogs we will do our best to not pontificate from on high but to serve as an active filter to the noise that’s out there, making sure you understand what it all means and how you can incorporate it to improve your own digital marketing efforts. So that means tips, tools, techniques that we sift from the web at large. Enjoy!
