Summary

Blogging is an often misused social marketing platform. Marketers often recycle generic content, follow quarterly content schedules, and plan more for search optimization than engagement. Old school marketing tactics on a new school social channel fail to embrace the technology's inherent social power.

New technologies, platforms, and content strategies can help brands connect with consumers better than ever.
