Anyone can do social media!
Can’t they?
Here are your challenges…
1. KPIs
2. Analytics
3. Skills
4. Resource
5. Content 6. Budget 7. Lack of control
And then there is this…
The death of organic reach
Free is over1. Facebook posts in news feeds down to 2% and to
reach zero by end of 2014
2. LinkedIn killed products & services pages, wants showcase pages and is focusing on curation
3. Twitter has launched geo-targeted ads in the UK
4. YouTube is making videos viral before they go viral
Why all the tinkering?
The venture capitalists want ROI
