Angie Swartz interviews Scott Gulbransen about what it’s like to be a Corporate Communications professional (i.e. one of the faces of Intuit) tweeting on his personal twitter account both personally and professionally, how social media is an integral part of his day, using TweetDeck and other listening tools to stay on top of what consumers are saying about the brand & his great team (@quickenchels and @turbotaxashley).  We also discuss how Intuit has long been a company to solicit feedback from customers for product enhancement opportunities.

Podcast Three: Intuit making taxes a little more Hip with partner MySpace & Secret Shows

Angie Swartz and Scott Gulbransen of Intuit discuss how Intuit partnered to use My Space Secret Shows for their Freeloader Nation promotion.  This campaign was designed to embrace younger users and to welcome them to the Turbotax product.

Podcast Four: Impact of Employer Social Media Policy on Morale & A Little MC Hammer

Angie Swartz and Scott Gulbransen of Intuit discuss how a corporation’s policy on employee’s accessing the internet during working hours might have a dramatic impact on employee morale.  Could your policy of blocking the internet infer you don’t trust your employees?  We discuss  Intuit’s relatively open policy for employee’s having access to social media sites during working hours.  Additionally, we discuss MC Hammer, his speech at Gravity Summit at Harvard, his business savvy and astute insight into social media trends.  (We also discuss Scott’s not so friendly banter with MC Hammer about the Oakland Raiders .
