Definition Social Media Marketing (new!)
admin | 19. Mai 2016In our recent study published in the journal of Business Research, we addressed a very fundamental question: What is Social Media Marketing? No, the answer isn’t that easy as you might think. The Social Media Marketing Concept covers more tasks than just posting on Facebook or defining communication goals.
Based on qualitative research with leading social media marketing experts, we developed a new definition of social media marketing and provide a holistic social media marketing framework. This helps managers to better implement social media marketing in organizations.
