Q1: How has social-media marketing changed in the past few years at your brand?
Q2: Which social platforms accomplish the most for your brands?
Q3: How are local and mobile becoming more integrated into your social marketing?
Q4: Is social becoming more integrated beyond marketing, like in operations or HR?
