“Social Media is the democratization of information, transforming people from
content readers into publishers. It is the shift from a broadcast mechanism, one-to-many,
to a many-to-many model, rooted in conversations between authors, people, and
peers.” – Brian Solis

Best Practices(Brand Social Media)
1. Be human. Have a personality. 2. Two things play well on social media: humor & charity.
(So do gratefulness and playfulness.) 3. Ask questions. 4. Use visuals. Photos get the most engagement, followed
by video. 5. Ask yourself this question before hitting send: Would I
engage with this?
