While social media is not the absolute answer to all marketing issues, I think it definitely provides insight into customer behaviors and allows clients to participate in conversations about their brand/ product/service on a more proactive and intimate level.

They spend time scouring the Web, read books and blogs, attend training, workshops and seminars, and actively participate to understand social media inside and out. - Nicole Torstenson, Sr. Marketing Strategist, Innova Ideas & Services © Hugh MacLeod. www.gapingvoid.com Let’s focus on: Nevermind. dominant ual ling ultil h/m l is rta an MR or spa p p p h h o o t t o social networks o social networks + s o o crowd s crowd s c ii p p a ll a n a e content n tt source n source w i i o s s rr k h i h i n based g / / location m u sh llt ngllii d iillii e o ng nt m u miinan in all do a n s t ms space usic mobile communities mu sociiall n e t d w at video ing o Es tu grito r k s portal t n a iin m o d s ks e rk ng o lis w h tw e t n iinterest Innova Ideas & Services | www.innovaideasandservices.com Nannette Rodríguez | Director of Hispanic Marketing, Business Development | 515.697.7200 | [email protected] @rodriguez24 (Twitter) | Nannette Rodriguez+Des Moines (Facebook, Linked In, MySpace) Web Progression Web 1.0 Web 2.0 Web 3.0 Web 3.5 In the beginning, Then it progressed Commerce then A subset of social the Web served into a place for ushered an era of networks and as an info transactions.
