Great companies don't lie. They don't steal. They don't cheat their employees. They don't become greedy. They don't allow people to behave badly just because that generates a lot of revenue. Great companies stop and listen to criticism. They commit to getting better, they set goals and a vision larger than themselves, and they truly behave better. When all of that happens, the storytelling is easy.

Social listening is a critical backbone to doing business in the 21st century. It’s a key component to understanding consumers’ needs and operating a real-time environment. There’s a big opportunity to utilize consumers’ feedback for inspiration, but also to have conversations, build ideas, co-create together and reach back out and share.

For the first time, companies have to compete on the very same turf as our family and friends, using the very same tools, technologies, media and messaging as consumers. They are invading the spaces we are using to connect personally.
