a thousand cuts :: adam cohen's blog

Your work for your many clients shows how talented you are in helping apply big, crazy ideas about social media into true, actionable plans. A very happy blogiversary to you, Adam!

… Great to read the progression of your role, and more importantly how you are now doing what you've been advocating AND what you love to do. (I feel/hope I'll be writing a similar post a year from now) if you ever start capturing and teaching your learnings, I'll be your first student…

Thanks Gradon, really appreciate it!

Thanks Tyson. We could learn from each other as you have more of the enterpreneurial bootstraps on. Good to catch up with you and hope to see you at SXSW.

There is a lesson here for all of us. Your life and career is what you make it. We are all free to make choices that lead us where we want to go. Well done, Adam.

Congrats Adam. That's great news. Looking forward to seeing more of your work in the months and years ahead.

Thanks Dan, more to come soon. I appreciate the thoughts.

Well put Dan, thanks again. I'm grateful to have an opportunity to influence how this has transpired and to have support from the leadership team. Of course, be careful what you wish for, pressure's on

2 years. Props Adam!

Thanks, my man. I'll have to figure out how to dial it up a notch. In comparison this is a ball of lint in the pocket of the Lost Jacket.

Adam – big congratulations for what is well-deserved recognition for your work. I've little doubt that you'll continue to shine as an example of all things that are right with this space, and show us the success of the clients whose future you help to build in social media. Great work!!!

Congrats on formalizing the role, and I am excited to continue to follow your progression in the social media space. To think, at one point in time I could give you tips, but the tables have turned in a short time. Truly a testament to your ability, talent, and dedication. I wish you amazing success in your new role.

Thanks Amber, that means a lot. I look forward to catching up in a couple weeks in Austin.

Hey, don't sell yourself short, I expect I'll always be in learn mode. Thanks Mike – appreciate the thoughts and good to hear from you.

Congratulations Adam! I know you've been very passionate about social media and how it can help organizations reach their full potential when it comes to customer relations. Very happy for you and glad to see that Rosetta is leveraging one of the best talents in this field.

Beth – congrats on your new role as well, I'll be following along. I think we have a lot of similarities in focus actually, I look forward to talking shop sometime soon. Thanks much for the kind words.

Great news for you… Even better news for your current and future clients.

Congratulations for being able to see the big picture and the opportunities at hand, and being dynamic and flexible enough to embrace and evolve along with it.

Congratulations Adam – well deserved after a lot of internal advocacy – it's easy to see from the outside the change coming, but hard to integrate new perspectives into an organization so I impressed you've been able to move the needle for Rosetta.

Adam,

Mazel Tov! Great to see your passion pay off with increased responsibility and recognition. I know you'll really deliver on the promise. Looking forward to see it.

Thanks Len – that means a lot. I still have to call you out – You were the one a few years ago who said to me, “I think you'd like this social media stuff.” Looking forward to seeing you at SXSW.

Thanks Rachel. You of all folks can appreciate the internal challenges and shift in understanding required. I've moved it a little but lots of work to do

Thanks Warren, much appreciated!

Now I'm inspired. Thanks for posting, Adam. Looking forward to many more great 'a thousand cuts' to come.

Adam, A big congrats…great to see that you will now be focusing 100% of your time on your SM passion…able to lead the way and help insure that SM tactics are applied strategically and with thoughtfulness…and I can't wait to see your successes–especially in the world of healthcare! PS you still owe me that coffee you promised next trip to Princeton…

Thanks for the kind words Ellen and we will definitely make that coffee happen soon. I'm overdue to get to Princeton and expect a trip there near the end of the month..

As a practitioner in this space, your comments mean a lot – thanks Jeff and hope to cross paths soon!

Congrats, Adam!

Thanks Christina, I appreciate it!

Adam – I'm a bit behind the curve on passing along congrats, but I think you know how I feel. You're on more than a few “people that inspire me” posts, including mine (although it remains unwritten for the time being). Keep on keeping it on and we'll look forward to more great things from you in the coming two years!
