Social media strategy for B2B: what’s required and what’s optional

Chris Koch

For these marketers, the pool of customers and prospects is small and many of them do not want to engage publicly in social media or are simply ignoring it altogether.

Chris Koch

All of our talk about marketers becoming publishers is incomplete. We can’t just become publishers, we also have to become advertisers.
