Advance Praise for ROI of Social Media

How to Improve the Return on Your Social Marketing Investment

The biggest shift in today's marketing world isn't the much-discussed declining effectiveness of television advertising but the changes in how consumers research and buy products—and social media is at the heart of this structural dynamic. Simply measuring ROMI will not improve performance since marketing strategies are often flawed and their spending is inefficient. Indeed, we need to go beyond metrics and take a hard look at why the numbers are so bad! Groves, Powell and Dimos provide a timely and accessible text to allow a new and less controllable brand communications channel be managed within a holistic framework. Full of practical gems, it will stimulate your thinking and help you make better decisions.
