Coe alumni are incredibly

Social media has taken over the world. Well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but for 3.2 billion people, it has become an essential part of their daily lifestyle. While social media originated on a personal level, the business world has seized the opportunity to leverage this mode of communication in its favor.

Accord ing to statista.com, approx imately 90% of all businesses have a presence on social media and are utilizing it to raise brand awareness. Businesses benef it from a lower cost of advert ising, targeting niche audiences and the ability to view in real-time whether their marketing eHorts are paying oH.

"Social media allows businesses, even those w ith small promot ion budgets, to post timely informat ion of interest to customers." Roger and Mary Baxter Professor of Business Adm inistrat ion and World AHairs Dr. Pam Carstens said. "Whether that informat ion is in the form of a sales promotion or a video, it's a way to gain attent ion and engage w ith customers. Act ive social media use is a sign to customers, though not the only sign of a business's cred ib ility.'

Whether they are entrepreneurs or experts in their field , several alumni are especially act ive on social media. They happily shared their social success and insight into the ever-chang ing landscape of social networks.
