I don’t know a marketer out there that would say that influence in social media is not a commodity, if you know how to leverage it.

If you’re wondering who receives thank-you cards for social media’s newfound prominence in our daily collective conversation, be sure to include Covid, politics, the war in Ukraine, and inflation; and while you’re at it, write out a few more for a lot more Covid and a lot more politics. For those that say they don’t pay attention to social.
