Social Media MarketingSocial media marketing (SMM) is a form of internet marketing which seeks to achieve branding and marketing communication goals through the participation in various social media networks.

Social Media refers to activities, practices, and behaviors among communities of people who gather online to share information, knowledge, and opinions using conversational media.

Top Goals of SMM

Power of Social Media“I really have to thank Facebook. When I first heard about the campaign to get me to host Saturday Night Live I didn’t know what Facebook was, and now that I do know what it is I have to say it sounds like a huge waste of time. I would never say that people on it are losers, but that’s only because I’m polite. People say “But Betty, Facebook is a great way to connect with old friends.” Well at my age if I want to connect with old friends I need a Ouji board.”

Power of Social Media
