“Digital channels are empowering
buyers to drive the conversation, and
as they engage and interact with a
brand, they start to connect to it.
The peer to peer nature of social media
allows buyers to share information
and opinions with each other –
companies need to make sure they are
there to participate in the
conversation, but not monopolize it.”
