Internet Business Strategist & Author David Bullock Launches Web-Based News Show
The David Bullock Show Leads Line-Up on New OnLine Broadcast Network www.socialmediaconnection.com
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 6, 2009) - David Bullock, renowned Internet business strategist and co-author of Barack 2.0, has launched his own web-based, self-titled show on Social Media Connection Broadcast Network (SMCBN/SMC). The David Bullock Show, hosted by Bullock and featuring his one-on-one conversations with high profile thought leaders from the social media space, focuses particular attention on the social media strategies employed by the successful Barack Obama campaign as they apply to general business.
Bullock’s insights on the Obama campaign and social media for business are chronicled in his groundbreaking book Barack 2.0, recently released nationwide. The book was born of a blog Bullock and co-author Brent Leary wrote throughout the course of the 2008 campaign and is the only publication to offer real-time documentation of Obama’s progressive social media strategy in action. Importantly, the book translates the information into a very useful case study for business people, full of applicable ideas and information for readers.
Bullock is currently in the midst of a book tour supporting the release of Barack 2.0, in addition to filming episodes fof The David Bullock Show. A sought-after speaker for conferences and seminars, Bullock is slated to join the likes of Chris Brogan at the upcoming SobCon ’09 in May and has been featured in a variety of publications including Black Enterprise and Direct Marketing News.
The David Bullock Show is part of a full mix of social media programming on SMCBN. The network’s other programs include
The Relationship Economy with Jay Deragon
The David Cooper Show
The Integrated Alliances Show with Mike O’Neil
Meetup.com for Business with Sherman Mohr
The Human Capital Connection with Dan Ryan
Small Biz Big Time with Irene Williams
Complete episodes, as well as details on programs and show hosts are available online at socialmediaconnection.com. SMC launched in March 2009 as a solely Internet-based network driven by topical, video content including pay-for-participation live webinars. The video content is enhanced by supplemental materials in the form of blogs, case studies, downloadable resources, comments and discussions. There is also an online store, through which viewers may purchase items and services.

Deragon describes the range of programming as “ideal for business owners who are wondering how to use social media effectively.”
The forming of the network itself is a testament to social media’s application to business. Many of the SMCBN hosts come to the network with well-established followings on social networks, as well as through their blogs and other career endeavors.
“We expect to reach hundreds of thousands of interested viewers in a matter of months and millions by the end of the year, thanks to our team’s existing social media followings. Suffice to say, we know of what we speak,” Deragon emphasizes.
He also reiterates that SMC is solely Internet-based.
“We believe SMCBN represents the future of media, as Internet-based broadcasting reaches viewers without limit—and without cost—while allowing for very specific content offerings,” he explains. “We offer news without borders, and we can respond nimbly as stories develop. We believe our great programing and supporting content, as well as our business model, propel us in the market.”
In addition to the full battery of video news programming, the SMC site offers supplemental content and
materials in the form of blogs, case studies, downloadable resources, comments and discussions. There is also an online store, through which viewers may purchase items and services.
Initially, SMCBN will air recorded interviews and content. In the near future, network officials plan to offer live streaming video, as well as on-demand and private webinars on a pay-for-participation basis.
Deragon summarizes, “We are focused on the power of social media, not only in terms of our content and programming, but in how we run this network and build our businesses. We’re truly about making the connection to social media for our viewers.”
