This Tweet Chat encourages participants to interact with NRN editors and leading marketers in social media, a subject NRN has covered in-depth in its special report, “Next-level marketing: Harnessing the power of social media.” The chat will begin with the following questions from NRN editors:
Q1: How has social-media marketing changed in the past few years at your brand?
Q2: Which social platforms accomplish the most for your brands?
Q3: How are local and mobile becoming more integrated into your social marketing?
Q4: Is social becoming more integrated beyond marketing, like in operations or HR?
To join the conversation, Twitter users are invited to use the #NRNSocialChat hashtag and follow the stream, sending comments and questions to @Mark_from_NRN.
