Use Social Media to Create Positive Change
Do you remember when social media was more like an experiment for brands than a real business strategy? Back then, brands did not grasp the potential that social media offered. Nowadays, social practitioners are a key part of the fabric of an organization.
Sallie Poggi, Director of Social Media at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), reminisced about a time when social media practitioners weren’t deemed as necessary as they are now. Today, instead of “tweeting in the corner,” we have a seat at the table and help to “make decisions and set strategy from a high level.”
Social media is used for so much more than updating followers about what you had for lunch. When used properly, social media can be leveraged to build relationships and create culture change across an entire organization.
