On the second Wednesday in January, we joined forces with #SMchat for one of our popular combo Twitter chats with that group. The questions centered on the topic Is Social Media Marketing Its Own Discipline?
Participants weighed in with opinions and insight on the following topics of interest:
- Should social media marketing be in its own department – why or why not?
- What functions will social media specialists perform in 2015? Is this different from prior years?
- When does it make sense to have specialized social media marketers at the table & when is it overkill?
- Are social media marketers burning out? Are the jobs disappearing? Both? Neither?
- Is social media marketing for specialists only, for all employees, or some combination of both?
A few of the top tweets are highlighted below (followed by a link to the full transcript):
