Social media marketing management – ANDREW MCCAULEY | DMR #62

In 2006, Andrew McCauley started his own business consulting company and one of his first clients asked him how people were using Facebook for their marketing. He had no idea what Facebook was, let alone use it for business. Thus began his journey on studying Social Media for business. Today you can find Andrew at AutoPilotYourBusiness.com.
