A 2011 MarketingSherpa study confirmed this with 62% of CMO’s believing that social media will pay off for them … eventually. But there is urgency in getting this data is that the consumer mindset is constantly changing, and to be competitive you need to move with them and not against them.

At a recent BlogWell event I got a chance to hear Robert Raines from Chevron present his Social Media program and how he reports their activity into the Boardroom.

The question is – What is the appropriate level of budget to support social media for a B2B company? First was the post on the Media Budget Ratio (MBR) for a B2B company. But don’t forget one of the most important costs associated with Social Media and that is Content Creation which can be a small incremental cost if you do it right.

When I put a search term into Google, typically eight of the top 10 results are social because consumers are creating enough content for that to happen. If I can discover the trends and themes consumers are creating, then I can put myself in the mix by building content to show up in that top eight to 10 results as well.

After my last post on the Media Budget Ratio I got a question out on the Marketing 2.0 community by Scott Zosel about how much should you allocate for Social Media in your budget?

Not so with Social Media. Social media allows the marketer to jump into the fray and to CREATE outcomes instead of being a victim. In the traditional model, media buyers would buy spots, ensure that the commercials ran, and then get feedback on their reception 3 months after the fact. Well “hope” isn’t a strategy.

Last year I wrote about how the balance of content has shifted. Bottom line is there is more content being produced by Users than by Publishers these days. Which means Publishers (or Marketers) are now the “white noise” in comparison to User Generated Content. Our messages are being drowned out by user generated content.
