But how can organizations successfully navigate this growing field to order to ensure an ROI from their online efforts? That's the basis of my conversation with author and renowned marketing CEO Shama (Kabani) Hyder in this episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe”.Shama is an international speaker, best-selling author and the award-winning CEO of The Marketing Zen Group – a global online marketing and PR firm.
