   BIG HAIRY AUDACIOUS GOAL
“… companies that are both
 deeply and widely engaged in
social media surpass their peers in
terms of both revenue and profit
   performance by a significant
           difference.”
Word of mouth is the
most powerful form of
 marketing there is!
US consumers have at least one
  daily brand-related discussion…
                  face-to-face – 93%
                 voice-to-voice – 45%
