Shelly Palmer
What buzzwords will have workers buzzing in 2013? Only time will tell, but to help, BusinessNewsDaily interviewed small business owners, PR people, entrepreneurs and others to give workers a heads up on which buzzwords they may see in the coming year. Advertainment — “Advertising is no longer about interrupting what people are interested in, it’s about being what people are interested in.” Phablets — A mixture of a smartphone and tablet. Growth hacker — “A role that replaces traditional marketing roles in fast-growing businesses.” Social learning — “An individual’s learning a skill through observation, without necessarily changing their behaviors or on-the-job performance. Alphanista — “Successful women in powerful positions having it all.” Acqui-hire — “A blend of acquired and hired.”
