Before You Start: Four Things to ConsiderThe marketplace is now a conversation. Are you listening? Do you have a voice?
Authenticity and transparency rule the day.Social media has reintroduced the human element to all digital life. And, accordingly, real people like to interact with other people – not just a monolithic organization or brand.
It’s a relationship, are you committed? The true value of participating online is in the ability to build lasting, meaningful ties. Anything short of that is a brief “viral success” at best, and, at worst, lost opportunities to maintain and grow a loyal consumer base.
Before you can take it “viral,” you need an infrastructure. In order to create content that “catches fire,” you need to have a plan and a pathway (preferably, many pathways).
