Meanwhile, 54% of executives revealed that they struggle to understand and interpret social data, and 52% struggle to stay on top of key social media trends.
Penny Wilson, chief marketing officer, Hootsuite said: “Our social media barometer report confirms what we’ve been hearing from customers large and small; that social media has become a critical channel for delivering a consistent customer experience across a business.
“With social increasingly how customers consume media; conduct research, ask questions and seek recommendations; make purchase decisions, engage with brands for support and show our loyalty, this is not a surprise. More organisations are discovering the value of social media within and beyond marketing, and the resulting direct impact it has on their bottom line.”
