About Social Media

The numerical facts of the sweeping revolution in social media are startling. Watch this 2-minute video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIFYPQjYhv8 to be reminded of the communication and media tsunami currently underway. Social media exploits an important truth: 78% of people trust peers, while only 18% trust advertisers.

However, social media consulting is developed primarily for just a few groups of heavy users:

• Progressive non-profits and political organizations;
• Sellers of consumer goods and services; and
• Cultural opinion leaders (media and bloggers).

• Marketing and sales networking
• Event promotion
• Human resources
