They don't want to spam, they want to make sure they do things the right way.

Are there established, respectable Agencies which can help a company market online using "Web 2.0" tactics – like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Youtube, blogs, widgets, etc.?

I have a client who wants to market "the right way" (ie, no spam, with a real, human presence). I'm looking for some agencies that might help them execute some of their plans, which include: Running contests on Youtube and Flickr, hiring freelance writers to create a useful, valuable weblog, monitoring twitter and other sites for negative experiences with their brand so they can make the situation right, etc., and creating and distributing useful desktop widgets.

They are very sensitive to how easy it is to do things badly here, and so they want a real expert.

Do you know of any agencies who have particular expertise in any of these areas? My client wants an agency with a respectable track record, and lots of experience.

I work for one, and we've executed a variety of campaigns nearly identical to your client's needs. E-mail me at amorespendejos [at] gmail.com with some more info...

I know someone who works with a very reputable agency here in Chicago and she specializes in Web 2.0. She's one of the few agency people who seem to get me (a blogger and a social network manager) and others who I know, plus she has a non-cheesy, very respectful approach to internet folk and works with very impressive clients. Drop me a MeMail or email is in the profile for her contact info.
