12. Social media is about people not about brands:
hunting for likes for their own sake is useless
”Companies are often on
the hunt for more “likes” for
their Facebook pages,
hoping to get more brand
advocates and social
media fans.
However only 42% of US
Facebook users think
marketers should interpret
a “like” in that way.”

13. Social media marketing is hard to fit in
business communication but worth to do it right
”By listening to what
their target fanbase
wants out of the
Facebook relationship,
marketers can get more
interaction on their page
and encourage more
people to “like” rather
than avoid brands on
Facebook.”

15. Key messages from presentation
Social media is about people not about brands
Facebook is not for eternity, it is just a tool
We are different: we use social media in different ways
People use social media at work as well, even if it is
prohibited (they choose mobile then)
Hunting for likes for their own sake is useless
Social media marketing is hard to fit in business
communication but worth to do it right 15
