5/27/2018 50 Social Insights From Real Marketers
2/10
In 2012, Marketo embarked on our Social Marketing Rockstar Tour
where we visited 15 cities across the nation to talk about implementing,
executing, and measuring social strategy. We met marketing interns all
the way up the ladder to CEOs, spoke to marketers from every industry,
and networked with both large companies of 10,000+ employees and
small companies of 10. The common denominator? An intense interest
in social media and a desire to learn how to use it more holistically in
every marketing campaign.
Every organization uses social in a different way. At each stop on the
tour we collected insights from over 2000 customer attendees on how
they are using social in their marketing today, plus any tips and lessons
that they have learned along the way. We have gone through each entry
and have compiled the best of the best!

Lyndsey McDermand @YSIincMarcom Coordinator, YSI, Inc
More is not necessarily better.Post things that are relevant,useful, and thoughtful ratherthan just lots of posts.
When someone posts on asocial channel, you need to tryand immediately respond. Dont
fall victim to poor listening.
Lessons learned: not linking oursocial platforms together and beingtoo self-focused. Also, you needto provide relevant content totarget audiences.
