Social Media Monitoring – 10 Social Media Experts Tell You What to Use
Is your firm monitoring social media? Even if your firm isn’t active on social media platforms, you must track the social media ecosphere for mentions of your company name, products, brands executives and competitors. For most businesses, the social media analytics landscape is confusing because it can be difficult to determine your exposure until you’ve been active for a while. At a minimum, you must invest in social media monitoring tools and analytics savvy personnel. To help readers determine which tools they should use, I surveyed social media experts for their recommendations.
The One Social Media Metric You Need [Data]
As social media marketing matures, measuring its effectiveness is a high priority for marketers. Every marketer knows the bottom line for social media marketing, like any other type of marketing investment, is what it will do to grow my business. To help social media marketers better understand the results of their social media initiatives, I asked a group of social media marketers and metrics experts what they thought was the most important element of social media metrics.

21 Content Marketing Definitions
Content marketing is grounded in the Mad Men’s principles. Content marketing takes it’s cue from David Ogilvy in that it looks like editorial. Following the teachings of Leo Burnett, content marketing integrates important brand attributes. Content marketing provides prospects, customers and the public with useful information, while shopping or after purchase, without shouting its promotional messages. As a result, content marketing breaks through the advertising clutter that consumers no longer trust. Here’s how twenty-one marketers define content marketing.

30 Branding Definitions
Brands have a wide range of uses for businesses, products and individuals in today’s dynamic marketing landscape where publishing and message distribution are no longer limited to media entities. Through the use of social media platforms, every consumer is a publisher and has his own brand to promote. Each brand is competing for time and attention—today’s scarce resources—to break though the message clutter in order to build relationships with their target audience(s). By itself, a brand isn’t a marketing strategy. In their own words, here are thirty (30) branding definitions from marketers and visionary leaders (aka the original Mad Men) to help you understand what branding entails.
