Developing followers in a traditional media sense, seems daunting. I get the model and it is based on merit in your name, message and offering.

How are companies building followers when the individuals they would target are not likely to be using the service? This may be an unfair generality, but i am trying to find the value prop for my company and markets - high technology companies WW. Any thoughts?
