Unlike traditional marketing media, it offers space to share the content without many boundaries. Also, there are multiple media to offer choices for self-selection. According to a study, for B2B marketers, LinkedIn has become a preferred option for marketing communication as against Facebook and Twitter. Also, more than 85% of B2B marketers utilize social media for creating brand awareness. There is social communication happening with vendors or corporate clients through social media for more B2B companies than for B2C companies. The above findings in the report are based on the yearly \u2018State of Corporate Social Media\u2019 survey conducted by \u2018Useful Social Media\u2019 with more than 850 respondents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2013\/11\/social-media-4.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19384 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2013\/11\/social-media-4.jpg\" alt=\"social media (4)\" width=\"600\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2013\/11\/social-media-4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2013\/11\/social-media-4-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>How corporate world has been adopting and using social media<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Since social media offers a personal way to receive better marketing gains in terms of response rate, satisfaction and loyalty, there is no surprise that around 90% of companies are using it as part of their marketing communication (marcomm) strategies.
