An Enormous Opportunity The huge (and expanding) reach of social media, and its relatively low cost (at least from a production fees perspective) makes it an incredibly attractive proposition for marketers. Forrester Research shows that from 2009-2014, U.S. I'd love to write up a case study on you guys when you're ready.

No stack of case studies or conference road trips will do it, either. If you don’t have the obvious social chatter about your brand, you have to make the case that content creation will drive search, which drives traffic, which drives sales. But the job of arm twisting and education can’t come from outside.

I think Myspace is a great case study but I don’t think FB has learned from the mistakes. If people tricked out their Myspace pages (your less is more point) with photos, blogs, videos, nusic etc and then left at the drop of a hat, why would they stay with FB who everyone doesn’t trust and only hosts our photos?

The other thing that bugs me (in addition to the clamor for proven ROI) is the need for case studies before companies get involved. But yet, companies want a step-by-step social media playbook from some other company that they can magically replicate. [link] jaybaer Great comment Kathy, thank you. Excellent tie-in with Outliers.

I think that credibility plays a big role here; testimonials, case studies, ratings and rankings should be in the content mix. I can get people to discover, interact with and share my content all day, but all that proves is that I can push words, provide context and – maybe – that I have some authority. All rights reserved.

Social media does take time, however, it'll take far less time if people, businesses, and companies work from ways that already work versus ways they're not really sure about. There's SOOOO many case studies and results out there to see what's already been done. shining through. All rights reserved.

I think anyone should look at them for a perfect case study on how to best use social media. I’m dying to find someone to recommend them to now. They did the Alton Brown Welch’s Grape Juice commercial, Maidenform Bras, and a whole lot more. It’s annoying, and I don’t usually follow them back.

That's why we need to break social media into components – to focus on what parts of it are important to a particular company. There's no “social media playbook&# yet so many people and corporations are seeking one. You have to be your own case study. You have to be your own case study.
