"Cool" Companies

Do you work for a "cool" company?  Or maybe a "hip" organization?  Does your company culture promote a fun work atmosphere, give back to the community and make you feel like part of the family?  If it does, then you should be talking about it in your marketing - especially in your social channels.

I can think of many occasions where I gained some insight into the core fabric of companies I was doing business with or considering for a relationship.  Unfortunately not all of these insights were positive, and it affected my opinion and willingness to strike an agreement.  However - when I have learned of great cultures, happy employees or some just plain cool things that organizations did for their employees - I always felt more inclined to give them my trust.

If all you do is push your products through social media, relentlessly soliciting business from your followers, then you are missing a great opportunity to show off the kind of team you have - and earn some "warm fuzzy's" with prospective clients.
