To quote from a recent Brian Solis post, The Path from a Social Brand to a Social Business:
“While creating a social brand is a necessary endeavor, building a social business is an investment.”
“What’s the difference? A social brand is just that, a business that is remodeling or retrofitting its existing marketing practices to new media. A social business is something altogether different as it embraces introspection and extrospection to reevaluate internal and external processes, systems, and opportunities to transform into a living, breathing entity that adapts to market conditions and opportunities.”
To path to becoming a social business is a journey we must embrace to effectively compete for the future.
