This is an authoritative, up-to-the-minute resource, written by real experts who have made social media marketing work for many of the world's largest companies. This in-the-trenches guide brings together both practical strategies and proven execution techniques for driving maximum value from social media marketing. Drawing on their extensive experience, Jamie Turner and Reshma Shah also show how to avoid crucial pitfalls that other companies have encountered, so you make the most of limited resources, and strengthen your brand instead of placing it at risk.

  • How to think about social media, plan effectively, and set yourself up for success

  • How to make the most of YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter and go beyond them

  • How to measure brand sentiment, target market engagement, and return on investment
