Principal of PUNCH!media Leslie Hughes from PUNCH!media chats with Laura Di Battista and Matt Dusenbury on CBC’s “Here and Now” about the following article.

http://nextgenjournal.com/2012/07/why-every-social-media-manager-should-be-under-25/.

The article, Why Every Social Media Manager Should be Under 25″ states:

“…every generation has changes in history that define them, and social media happens to be one of those for mine. I do commend the way companies (and basically the entire population) have jumped on the social media bandwagon and recognized that it is the best way to connect with people nowadays. Yet, every time I see a job posting for a Social Media Manager/Associate/etc. and find the employer is looking for five to ten years of direct experience, I wonder why they don’t realize the candidates who are in fact best suited for the position actually aren’t old enough to have that much experience.”
