Ok ok – based on the great response I got from my readers on my last blog post The 4 C’s of B2B Marketing I thought I would try to apply the same principle to Social Media Marketing.

Social media and PR would seem to be natural allies. So why do corporate PR and social media efforts so often appear disconnected and out of sync?

A big part of the appeal of social media is its simplicity. That simplicity, however, can make social media dangerous for business. What’s needed is a strategic approach to social media , starting with listening. It’s not dip-your-toe-in-the-water—that doesn’t work with social media. Post on Google Buzz.

many people pause to think about what they’re thankful for: family, friends, TiVo, the Yankees not winning the World Series… I’m thankful for all of those things too of course, but also for the development and growth of social media. Now, social media tools like Facebook and LinkedIn make it easy and (usually) non-awkward.

Though business use of social media is rapidly increasing, many executives remain skeptical of its value. The bottom line is that while social media marketing definitely provides benefits (such as a higher conversion rate for organic search traffic ), it’s not generally effective as a direct promotion tool.

Though social media marketing is rapidly advancing in terms of adoption and sophistication, many marketers and business executives still struggle with it. They wonder if their organizations are doing enough, if they are doing things right, even if they should be involved in social media at all. Social media marketing is really hard.

While there are unquestionably many ways that social media marketing results can be measured , the debate rages on as to whether it’s truly possible to quantify the ROI from these activities.

At its core, social media marketing is still marketing: it requires a strategy, planning, objectives, measurement, and utilization of key messages. But on the other hand, social media is not simply another channel, i.e. to be lumped into a group such as radio, TV, outdoor, print, and social media. But not in social media.

In my own words – Influencers are individuals that write about Avaya but they also write about Cisco and Siemens in social media or otherwise. Which is why I prefer to have my communications group work with them much like they have always worked with the media. They are non partial and therefore they write about many firms.
