    • Recorded video
    • Photo
    • Link post

    Our Hypothesis:

      What Is The Social Media Lab?

      The Social Media Lab is a project powered by Agorapulse dedicated to spending $15,000 per month to bust the myths, rumors and stories related to social media marketing.

      We’ll test mainly organic reach, but also will run paid experiments.

      The experiments are conducted by myself, Scott Ayres, and Jason How.

      We typically publish 1 blog post and podcast per week.

      The podcast is co-hosted by Richard Beeson and myself.
