<p>Last but not least there was even a social media marketing case study created by Social CRM Expert Brent Leary and Internet Marketing Expert David Bullock. <a href="http://www.barack20.com" target="_blank">Barack20.com</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.barack20.com/" target="_blank"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 5px 10px 5px 0px; border-right-width: 0px" src="http://2thenextlevel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/windowslivewriterweb20election2008historyinthemaking-8c08b20-logo-3.png" border="0" alt="b20_logo" width="244" height="180" align="left" /></a></p>
<p>This study helps small businesses understand how Barack Obama used social media to market himself. Brent and David used their blog to give</p>
<p>audio lesson on how small businesses can use social media to further their business as well.</p>
<p>We first reported on this study when it was just a <a href="http://2thenextlevel.com/blog/2008/07/04/webinar-obama-social-media-and-your-business/" target="_blank">webinar</a> but has now grown into so much more.</p>
<p>Brent and David were recently featured in the November issue of <a href="http://www.blackenterprise.com/business/" target="_blank">Black Enterprise</a> and are in the midst of launching their first</p>
<p>seminar in a local city near you. We will keep you posted on what happens next for <a href="http://www.barack20.com" target="_blank">Barack20</a> after the election.</p>
<p>The main thing that everyone should understand is that the 2008 Elections has used Web 2.0 technology and made the Internet better for us all.<br />
We are so much more informed and knowledgeable about our local and national candidates. This can only help us make the best choices for the leadership of our country.</p>
<p>So if you have not done so yet. Please get out and Vote!</p>
<p>All the best</p>
