is a completely integrated
communications mechanism that
amplifies the impact of every function
within an organization by leveraging
the power of human networks via
social networking platforms. It is a
compliment to all other forms of
tactical communications, from
advertising to customer service to PR.

14. A social media program can provide
organizations with detailed , virtually
instant feedback from customers
and valuable market intelligence.
Used in conjunction with specialized
monitoring , measurement and
analysis tools , it can amplify not
only activities, but the acquisition
and analysis of valuable data, from
consumer insights to the calculation
of ROI.
