2. What does your company’s social media plan look like? Every company has already invested time and money in Bought and Owned Media Channels. SPECK Media enables companies to utilize the Earned Media Channel where the conversation begins and sustains itself. Does it involve conversations, communities of interest and viral distribution? Does it engage your customers in a story and invite them to participate in the conversation around your brand? Are advocates out there supporting your marketing message and are millions of fans discussing your products? If the answers to these questions are no. Maybe it’s time to start believing in the power of social media.

3. But where do you begin? The road ahead is not always clear. Some organizations choose to explore social media internally and other choose PR Firms to help with a mix of social media tactics. There is an abundance of information when it comes to making choices in social media. At SPECK Media all we do is social media. Every project is based on insights into the needs and aspirations of your customers as we develop a deeper understanding of how the power of social media and technology networks can be leveraged to change the economics of your business and facilitate new business and networked marketing models.
