  SKAL MEDIAProfile: SKAL Media

At Pink Banana Media, we've been spending a large part of our time simply
helping companies learn how to utilize social media for their own business
needs.  Through seminars, webinars and consultation services, the
educational side of our company has grown to become a larger and larger
component of our overall social media marketing efforts.  Thus, we've spun
off a new company, SKAL Media, solely dedicated to the education and
training so needed in today's world, as marketing evolves from the more
traditional forms of creating advertising which speaks "to" their audience,
and moves to the field of social network marketing, where an advertiser must
learn to speak "with" their audience.
