Great to see so much activity going on in the social business industry.
This is so sweeeeeet! I love it! Thanks for the details and wow, such a nice start. It’s improving and much more exciting every single day!
Social business needs a lot of things to be taken more seriously and strategically in the C suite. Not only that, but there are other cases out there where polarized points of view hold back social business progress. One example is old school vs. new school marketing. Marketing newbies may lack the perspective to see this manufactured controversy for what it is: a cynical attempt, mostly by vendors, to drive awareness and grab attention. The real and legitimate debate that it masks is between effective vs. ineffective marketing practices.
