xperts disagree on the merits of farming out your social media monitoring. Real-time, constant monitoring is an absolute requirement for a responsible presence. The job demands a nuanced understanding of the customer and the brand, as well as knowledge of what events may be impacting the brand everywhere around the world, on every social platform where the brand lives.
Advocates of outsourcing contend that hired social media professionals can be loyal brand stewards, bring a greater attention to detail, and remain impervious to internal political battles that may impact the brand's reputation. But detractors claim that only experienced employees have the wherewithal to communicate with confidence and authority on brand issues by embodying the company culture and leveraging a vast network of workforce expertise.

Editor's Notes
Social Media Today started in 2007 as
The way we go about our lead generation campaigns is we base them on a Unified strategy- we determine the goals of the client and these can be refined once we discuss a little more but then we also factor in the purpose of the potential leads who are seeking information. People are coming to Social Media Today to get information and make their business better. They are looking for a solution. Jive can be that solutionWe can guarantee the Social Media Today leads are better qualified because of the quality of the content, and the unique vision that understands what business you are in and what you are trying to achieve. We are not trying to simply deliver leads, we are trying to cultivate relationships and connect you to real customers.

We’d love to propose a content hub as a way to organize this lead generation campaign for Jive. The content hub can be specific to each of the verticals you are looking to focus on or can be more general to incorporate all three verticals and maybe more as the campaign grows. We envision leveraging existing Jive eBooks, whitepapers, and webinars to begin lead generation immediately (in the next few slides, I’ll show you how Oracle does this)
