Brands Must Become Architects Of Community.

The Evolution Of Social Media Into A Robust Mechanism For Social Transformation Is Already Visible. Despite Many Adamant Critics Who Insist That Tools Like Facebook, Twitter, And Youtube Are Little More Than Faddish Distractions Useful Only To Exchange Trivial Information, These Critics Are Being Proven Wrong Time And Again.

As A Function Of The Easy Access To Information Provided By The Internet, And The Ease With Which It Can Be Shared Thanks To Social Media, Consumers Are Now Better Informed As To The Behavior Of Brands And The Multiple Global Crises We Face.

For A Truly Effective Social Campaign, A Brand Needs To Embrace The First Principles Of Marketing, Which Involves Brand Definition And Consistent Storytelling.

The Creative Destruction That Social Media Is Currently Unleashing Will Change More Than Technology Or The Leader Board Of The Fortune 100. It Is Driving A Qualitative Shift In The Nature Of Relationships Between Brands And Their Customers.

Effectively, Change Is Almost Impossible Without Industry-wide Collaboration, Cooperation And Consensus.
