Oxford's Talking Finger does more than talk

Congratulations go out today to local social media marketers, Talking Finger.

The Oxford-based business placed third in a recent Facebook fan page competition sponsored by Social Media Examiner, which calls itself “the world’s largest online social media magazine.”
The contest had more than 1,800 entries.
 

Bill DeRosa of Oxford, who founded the business with Valley native Erik Granato, said last week he was thrilled the business made the Top 10. And he expressed his gratitude to the 70 people who took the time to write about their experiences with Talking Finger.

DeRosa and Granato started Talking Finger in 2010. The men say it is vital for businesses today to have a strong social media presence, and they help them achieve that presence.

However they warn that companies cannot abandon traditional marketing strategies.

Talking Finger offers seminars through the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce in Shelton. The business will be at Thursday's 2012 Business Showcase at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport.

DeRosa and Granato, as well as staffers Dana Bereza, and Chris Durso, are to be commended on their success in a less than welcoming economy.

I wish them the best as they continue to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk.
