The euphoria around social networking compelled many businesses to join consumer conversations, pen expert blogs, and set up social media communities. Yet many corporate players share the challenge of attracting the right audiences to these venues and showing a return on their initiatives.
There are systematic ways to set up for success in social media and scientific methods to gauge results. In this session, you will learn how to:
- Understand conversation trends and get to know your influencers
- Distinguish between sustainable social media initiatives vs. creative but short-lived ideas
- Prepare your organization for social care
- Set benchmarks and measure success
