Summary

Have you finally gotten your company to embrace social marketing, but struggle to scale its impact? Is social marketing trapped in one function or business unit?

This report highlights organization models best suited for scalable social marketing success, backed by examples. This is an update of a previously published report "Staff Agile Teams For Social Marketing Success."
