The results of this study are compared to last year’s Burson-Marsteller “Global Social Media Check-up 2010,” which analyzed the social media presence of companies on the 2009 Fortune Global 100 list. While there was a slight shift from last year in the companies on the Fortune Global 100 list, this did not have a significant impact on results.

The Second Annual Burson-Marsteller Global Social Media Check-up examines the Fortune Global 100’s use of popular social networking platforms such as: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, corporate blogs and other local and language-specific social networks.
The Global Social Media Check-Up examined how the Global Fortune 100 are using popular social media platforms to communicate with their stakeholders.
The data for this study was collected between November 2009 and January 2010 among the top 100 companies of the 2009 Fortune Global 500 companies. Sample size for countries/regions: U.S. = 29 companies, Europe = 48 companies, Asia-Pacific = 20 companies, Latin America = 3 companies. Because of the low sample size for Latin America, data is only broken out for this region for overall activity rates. “Active” accounts have at least one post in the past 3 months. Outliers have been noted. Data was collected by Burson-Marsteller’s global research team.
Measuring facebook’s economic impact in europe - Deloitte - Janvier 2012Romain Fonnier
Facebook aurait généré 22 000 emplois en France d'après une étude Deloitte
Le 25/01/2012
nl232-images-deloitte
A l’occasion du salon DLD de Munich, Sheryl Sandberg, Directrice générale de Facebook, a présenté une étude du cabinet Deloitte sur l’impact économique direct et indirect du réseau social dans les 27 pays de l’Union Européenne et la Suisse. D’après cette étude, les acteurs de l’écosystème Facebook auraient généré 15,3 milliards d’euros et créé 232 000 emplois en Europe en 2011. En France, la plateforme serait à l’origine de près de 1,9 milliard d’euros d’activité économique et près de 22 000 emplois.
Facebook est à la base d’une véritable «App économie». Des centaines d’entreprises ont pour activité de créer des applications dans les domaines du jeu, du divertissement ou des services pour Facebook. Cette «App économie» a soutenu, d’après l’étude, la création de 2 100 emplois en France en 2011. Le lancement, la semaine dernière, des applications timeline (voir archive) devrait encore contribuer au dynamisme de cet écosystème.
Afin de poursuivre sa stratégie d’intégration à l’écosystème local du logiciel, Facebook a annoncé son adhésion au Syntec Numérique, Chambre Professionnelle des métiers du numérique en France. Guy Mamou-Mani, son Président, déclare : «Je me réjouis de l’arrivée de Facebook au Syntec Numérique. Facebook représente un écosystème d’éditeurs de logiciels et de sociétés de services en pleine croissance qui vont créer les applications et les services innovants de demain. Cet écosystème est le symbole de l’économie numérique ‘made in France’ qui est en plein essor malgré la crise économique actuelle.»
Whereas in the spring of 2010 only about a quarter of the top-100 TV advertisers were identified as having an official (German-language) Facebook presence, just one year later it was evident that the world's largest social network had attracted a far greater proportion of those companies. Working with the same selection method, in April 2011 we identified that half (75) of the companies and brands serving as our basis had official fan pages, of which almost half (30) were less than a year old. This was based on the top 150 TV advertising spenders in the first quarter of the year.
Key issues for the second Trend Report:
- Review and improvement of the benchmarks identified in 2010:
- Re-evaluation of the different strategic patterns in the use of Facebook as a communication channel.
- Review of the following hypotheses:
1. Fan pages for brands and companies show declining interaction rates in 2011.
2. The typology of communication strategies displays a shift towards dialogue-oriented forms.
3. The differences in the interaction rates are industry- and size-specific.
4. Brands communicate their Facebook presence more frequently in other communications channels such as TV commercials and corporate web sites than was the case a year ago.

I wrote this paper in early 2017 as part of my undergraduate studies with Strayer University where I was working to complete my Bachelor's in Business Administration. This paper was for a senior-level business class and was required to highlight the business model and globalization challenges of a company of our choice. Because of my background with digital marketing and social media marketing, I chose Hootsuite.
This paper was originally written in January 2017 but I have since lightly updated it as of February 2018. I hope those who may reference this paper will find it useful and insightful in some way.
Currently, I am now a graduate student and have moved well beyond the business course for this paper.

The Center for Marketing Research at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth recently conducted a new in-depth and statistically significant study on the usage of social media in fast-growing corporations. This new study revisits the Center’s study of Inc. 500 social media usage for the third consecutive year, making it a valuable and rare longitudinal study of corporate use of these new technologies.
Quarterly Statistics on Media, Mobile, Social Media and AdvertisingEM3
By many accounts, the economy is on an upswing: Major advertisers increased spending by about 6%, but
perhaps more importantly, roughly 40% of Americans indicated that the economy is “getting better.”
This is important news for marketers of all stripes, since it impacts the way they will approach their
marketing efforts.
But that’s just one of many practical marketing facts that have been collected in “The Marketing Data Box.”
In this issue here are just a few facts you’ll discover:
•The benefits and consequences of social media to US Adults
•Whether Americans are willing or not to pay for online news
•The average cost per lead for outbound vs. inbound marketing
•The percentage of mobile users that own smartphones
•What activity dominates mobile internet time (and it’s not social networking)
•Ecommerce growth rates
•What percent of US population search online for health information, and where they are
most likely to go
•The TV programming that will make your ads more likely to be thought of as trustworthy

Burson-Marsteller’s Fortune Global 100 Social Media Check-up study
demonstrates that most companies have dipped their toes in the social media
world — some with a big splash and others with a timid ripple — and that simple,
responsible engagement in social media can reap big rewards in building
relationships with stakeholders online. We explored the use of social media
among Fortune Global 100 companies based on their involvement in Twitter,
Facebook, YouTube and corporate blogging.
The comScore 2010 U.S. Digital Year in Review offers an overview of the prevailing trends in digital media usage during the year and considers their implications for the year ahead. This report will examine
the trends in U.S. Internet usage, search activity, e-commerce, online video consumption, online advertising, and mobile, as we offer a prognosis for which digital strategies will be most critical for
success in 2011.
The comScore 2010 Mobile Year in Review offers an overview of the prevailing trends in mobile media usage during the year and considers their implications for the year ahead. It examines key trends across device usage, smartphone adoption and mobile media trends looking across geographies including the U.S., EU5 and Japan.
Syncapse Increasing Campaign Effectiveness With Social MediaEM3
Indeed, social media has clearly become a very effective way to drive consumer awareness and campaign effectiveness. But our survey went one step further. We identified a critical segment of the social media audience who carry a disproportionate level of influence on consumers. This group, who we call Social Media Producers, also tend to spend more on the brands they recommend. Activating this segment of the consumer audience will provide incremental benefits to those brands that understand how to engage consumers through social channels. To help them, Syncapse conducted an extensive study of more than 4,300 consumers across North America.

throughout his career and, more important, principles you can adopt today to “think different” and reinvent your

Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement.

It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else.

3. Methodology
• The study’s sample consisted of the companies on the 2010 Fortune Global 100 list.
The sample breaks down as follows:
− 32 U.S. companies
− 47 European companies
− 18 Asia-Pacific companies
− 3 Latin American companies (Because of the small sample size, data from the three Latin American companies are included
in the overall results, but this data is not broken out in the detailed analysis.)
• The study looked at the Fortune Global 100’s activities on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube , corporate blogs
and other local microblogs and social networks around the globe.
• The results of this study are compared to last year’s Burson-Marsteller “Global Social Media Check-up
2010,” which analyzed the social media presence of companies on the 2009 Fortune Global 100 list.
Results from the Global Social Media Check-up 2011 study are charted in blue; results from last year’s
global study are charted in gray.
• While there was a slight shift from last year in the companies on the Fortune Global 100 list, this did not
have a significant impact on results.
• Data was collected between November 2010 and January 2011.
• “Active” accounts were defined as those with at least one post in the past 3 months.
• Outliers have been noted.
• Data was collected by Burson-Marsteller’s global research team.

While the number of American and European
companies participating in social media remained
fairly flat over the past year, companies’
interactivity on social media increased
dramatically across all regions.

leverage social media to manage their brands and
engage with stakeholders.
Organizations are dedicating resources to
better monitor and manage social media, and
they are learning from other companies’
successful strategies.

way to go. Too many companies are broadcasting
news content and not listening to what

social media, but the number of followers and
“likes” increased substantially on corporate
social media accounts.

listen and interact with stakeholders in a
meaningful way, social media can be mutually
beneficial for companies and customers.

42. Social Media Growth in Asia is Driven by Interest in Reaching Audiences
Both at Home and Abroad
Asian corporations were slower to join social
media because of a perception that consumers
only wanted to interact with peers—and not
companies—on social networks.
However, the sheer growth in the number of users
of these platforms, particularly in audiences abroad,
is changing this perception. Asian companies are
using social media tools to reach Western
stakeholders through Twitter and Facebook and
to reach local audiences on sites such as Cyworld,
Mixi and Sina.
Asian companies are particularly comfortable with
Twitter as they tend to be most focused on building
short-term market share, using the tools for building
awareness and reaching large numbers of people,
as opposed to developing long term stakeholder
engagement and loyalty.
Asian companies will continue to grow their
presence on social media because of the vast
opportunity to connect with stakeholders both
at home and abroad, as well as a keen ability to
identify and emulate best social media practices.
