Adoption of social channels is strong; with 59% of
organizations having adopted Twitter and 60%
adopting Facebook, and almost 85% of those who
have adopted one, have adopted both together.
However, adoption seems to have been the easy
part. Justification, integration, and strategic
measurement continue to be the most challenging
aspects of implementing new social channels.

Editor's Notes

  • #10 Customer ExperienceReport
  • #19 The problem is that we’ve defined integration by using moretouchpoints. In that same ANA survey, marketers were asked how important various communications platforms are to their marketing plans. And amazingly 10 out of the 14 platforms received a top 2 box score – very important or important – of 50% or more. So we’ve moved from a world where one media was dominant to a world where everything is important. We would say, however, that using more media does not constitue “integration”. Especially in a world where we are still adapting creative from TV.
