The Big Social Experiment

• Many companies are stumbling blindly into social media marketing without a measurement strategy in place

The Numbers are Telling…

• “While 2009 may have been a “trial” run for many brands and social media, in 2010, CMOs expect social initiatives to directly impact their bottom lines, without exception.”

• “CMOs reported that 64% of them would increase their social media budgets within the next year.”

• In 2009, 89% of CMOs tracked social media's impact by using standard metrics such as site traffic, pageviews, and number of fans. Source: BazaarVoice “CMOs Plan for Higher Social Media Measurability in

2010” December 8, 2009
