The fact is that social media has become everyday tools for consumers but surprisingly, so many CEOs are not entirely so keen about the platform.
According to a recent study of Fortune 500 CEOs, 61% have no social media presence. Moreover, 70% out of those who are present on social media have accounts on only one network.
We all know that there is more to social media than just meeting people and connecting friends and families.
The platform has become one of the most important marketing channels for major brands and small businesses. But how well are small businesses using social media platforms? Are CEOs using this popular platform to deeply engage customers?
