About the conference Social media is the gold rush of the 21st century, creating a widespread social fever that has left many brands clambering to get in at the ground level for fear of missing out on something “big.” Even a handful of years ago, little thought was put into social campaigns. Indeed, most companies assigned social media management as an adjunct task to existing business positions. Now, there are dedicated jobs to strategize, create, and monitor social campaigns. Businesses have collectively taken a step back to assess how the various social media platforms align with their goals and ascertain the best way to approach engagement with customers where they are. However, not all platforms are created equal. Some specialize in graphics; some are fast-paced, while others are more professionally grounded. Each has their own unique personality and specific benefits for businesses. If we have learned anything from social media over the past few years, it is how dynamic the social ecosystem has become – whether it’s a platform change with a simple app update or the introduction of a new channel that makes others feel obsolete. In the face of constant change, it’s important to stay positive and note the myriad of possibilities with social media. By implementing relevant campaigns and participating in the conversation as an equal partner, organizations can leverage the social media for-
- competitive advantage. Brands strive to be relevant and meet their customers where they are, which is what makes social media so unique.
