Forbes just published my latest article talking about the four reasons why people might be done with Facebook. 

In my article I cover the four reasons why your agency should stand up and take notice of the seismic shifts happening in the social media world.

Be aware of the changes and stay proactive, but most of all, be careful where you are placing your hard-earned advertising dollars as platforms and audiences shift beneath our feet. Only time will tell where the best investment for your advertising dollars will be in the coming years.
