Definition🎁: "Social Media" - Digital Marketing Advent Calendar

We're one more day from Friday! Hang on tight, the weekend's just around the corner.  Today, we're keeping it light, with LinkedIn Elevate Account Director, Clement Boehm defining what the world of Social Media means for marketers. 

Social media refers to the world of conversational web, where Internet users exchange opinions, rate experiences, and even share emotions.

Social media has transformed the economy, as well as the way we communicate. For marketers, this means unique opportunities for brands to interact with customers, suppliers, candidates, investors and industry in real time.

Marketers can also harness social media to adapt their ads, break down trends and thus manage things like customer's journey, lead generation, and sales.

The 2016 US elections is another example of how the presidential candidates mobilized social media platforms to support their campaigns.
