Social Media Analytics, Simplified

The Social Media Puzzle: “Edge Pieces” Are Only the Start
I have always loved a good puzzle and, to me, that’s exactly what social media marketing is. Every puzzle you pick up has the same basic rules and goals, but has its own unique solution. Social media marketing is the same. Ultimately, we’re all doing the same thing and working towards the end goal –…
