What we are hearing from our Brand Customers

1. Should my social strategy involve doing something on the social web out at FB and twitter or should I make my site social? Hearing a lot of hype about Listening Services.

2. Social Media inventory is all the same and it’s low value or toxic for my Brand.

3. Is enabling Facebook Connect and Open Social Graph (like button) a smart thing for me to do?

Are efforts on the Social Web mutually exclusive to what I might do on my Domain in the context of my Brand?

What do Facebook/Twitter conversations on brands look like? Answer: A lot of Noise

Breaking Through the Hype: Real Social Media Strategies for Brands

1. Social strategies for the greater social web (FB, twitter) are not mutually exclusive to social media strategies on the domain. Meaningful insight comes from social media strategies on your domain in the context of your Brand.

2. Not all Social Media inventory is created equally. Social media in the context of your brand, editorial content, products and services can yield premium rates.

3. Be smart about the way you leverage Facebook and other Social Web services. Never risk the trusted relationship between you and your audience of customer base.
