Social media has many faces. One is the purist viewpoint of social media whereby social media practitioners see social media and only social media. Another is the advertising and PR approach. Here practitioners want to control what social media can do. Add into the mix the search marketing viewpoint where practitioners see not only links but also how to complement PPC and SEO. And finally there’s the perspective of the end user that marketers tend to forget about! How can marketers utilize all four aspects of this powerful medium to their advantage and create successful strategies? This panel will discuss effective ways to combine several elements of social media ranging from blogs to networking to social news – to form successful social media strategies. Every business is different but attendees will walk away from this session with a solid foundation for social media strategy.
