23 Social Media Facts to Share with Executives

For my job, I read and research A LOT and save A LOT of useful stats and figures that help “sell” the benefits of social media for companies. Not just from a communications perspective, but also from a strategic thinking and integration point of view. Usually they wind up stuck in my presentations or in my bookmark folders, but aren’t shared much outside of my company’s four walls – which is unfortunate.

Social media is a place to share, so here is a breakdown of 23 high-level numbers and statistics that can make jaws drop, and get the hamsters in their heads turning the wheel.  If you are asking why 23, well I was watching the NBA with my nephew when thinking up this post and figured I would pay homage to Jordan. Feel free to share in presentations as you like.

23 Social Media Facts to Share with Executives

For my job, I read and research A LOT and save A LOT of useful stats and figures that help “sell” the benefits of social media for companies. Not just from a communications perspective, but also from a strategic thinking and integration point of view. Usually they wind up stuck in my presentations or in my bookmark folders, but aren’t shared much outside of my company’s four walls – which is unfortunate.

Social media is a place to share, so here is a breakdown of 23 high-level numbers and statistics that can make jaws drop, and get the hamsters in their heads turning the wheel.  If you are asking why 23, well I was watching the NBA with my nephew when thinking up this post and figured I would pay homage to Jordan. Feel free to share in presentations as you like.

23 Social Media Facts to Share with Executives

For my job, I read and research A LOT and save A LOT of useful stats and figures that help “sell” the benefits of social media for companies. Not just from a communications perspective, but also from a strategic thinking and integration point of view. Usually they wind up stuck in my presentations or in my bookmark folders, but aren’t shared much outside of my company’s four walls – which is unfortunate.

Social media is a place to share, so here is a breakdown of 23 high-level numbers and statistics that can make jaws drop, and get the hamsters in their heads turning the wheel.  If you are asking why 23, well I was watching the NBA with my nephew when thinking up this post and figured I would pay homage to Jordan. Feel free to share in presentations as you like.

23 Social Media Facts to Share with Executives

For my job, I read and research A LOT and save A LOT of useful stats and figures that help “sell” the benefits of social media for companies. Not just from a communications perspective, but also from a strategic thinking and integration point of view. Usually they wind up stuck in my presentations or in my bookmark folders, but aren’t shared much outside of my company’s four walls – which is unfortunate.

Social media is a place to share, so here is a breakdown of 23 high-level numbers and statistics that can make jaws drop, and get the hamsters in their heads turning the wheel.  If you are asking why 23, well I was watching the NBA with my nephew when thinking up this post and figured I would pay homage to Jordan. Feel free to share in presentations as you like.
