Social Media?

Understanding Social Media is like Teenagers trying to understand love.

Everyone wants it, tried something about it but nobody really know the commitment.

Social Media Online conversation from any content generated by

people using different tools or media.

Communication via social media is “many to many”.

It is a fundamental shift in the way we communicate.

The stake holders involved in such conversation can be your customers, donors, volunteers, employees, investors, critics, fans, competitors or anyone who has internet access and has an opinion

Social media is not a strategy or a tactic – it’s simply a channel.

Tools and more Tools!
