There seems to be a catch 22 going on in that if the CEO isn't sold on social media (as many aren't yet) then they won't approve the staff to spend the time learning about integration and measurement…which would give them the tools to prove its worth. You have to commit to social media for the long haul to see the benefits.

Especially in comparison to many other communication programs like traditional PR, TV advertising, outdoor advertising and others, social media actually offers pretty solid metrics. Many social media software packages (great ebook analysis of them here) can provide highly detailed reports on the impact of social media programs.

What is surprising is the lack of utilizing each resource to its capacity. I totally agree that repurposing content across social networking platforms is a necessity, and that saying what you mean and meaning what you say across every channel is very important. In my opinion, this is the difference between good or great.
