In a world where "social media" is at every turn, it can be hard to gain perspective on the who, what, when, why, how, and how often of this powerful business tool. Luckily, there are people who not only "get by," but excel in building successful media campaigns, and we've had the opportunity to watch and learn from these experts to help boost our PR strategies.

The Stasko Agency recently had the pleasure of sitting down with THE LinkedIn Rockstar, Mike O'Neil. Mike is a social media expert and the author of his very own LinkedIn-related book, Rock the World with your Online Presence: Your Backstage Pass to a Multi-Platinum LinkedIn Profile. With over 1,000 concerts under his belt and 10,000 hours of LinkedIn and social media experience, it's no wonder how Mike earned his title.

Mike ranks 27th in all of LinkedIn for his number of connections, which is over 25,000. (Note: the max is 30,000). His partner, Lori Ruff, ranks 9th of all women on LinkedIn. And each have 30k + followers on twitter as well.
