Though it’s still one of the top three social networks for B2B marketers, Twitter is struggling. The platform needs to make changes to attract new users, and re-activate dormant accounts, in order to maintain its long-term viability. Twitter’s revenue is stagnant and the platform lost two million users in the final quarter of 2017. MORE

According to Google Trends, social media marketing as a topic if search interest recently turned nine years old (or is about to turn 11 years old, depending on when you place its origin). Facebook was opened up to the public in 2006. Twitter emerged at the SXSW conference in March 2007. The phase “social media marketing” first appeared in searches back in March 2007, but the first spike in interest came in January 2009, when search volume more than doubled from the previous month.

Guest post by Anand Srinivasan. There are several reasons why marketers may want to partially automate their social media campaigns. First, success with social media marketing comes with frequency (plus quality). Studies show that users on platforms like Twitter and Pinterest maximize their engagement when brands post as many as 15 tweets or 11 pins per day. Photo by Andy Kelly on Unsplash. MORE

Guest post by Emma Williams. Cats rule the internet—so much so that the topic has its own Wikipedia page. Even with millions of cat photos and videos online, any content that features a cute or funny cat still has a good chance of going viral. And cats aren’t just superstars in pet-centric niches. Felines have made their way into marketing campaigns from companies like GoDaddy , Ikea , and many others. Even Mercedes Benz has pawed its way on board the cat marketing trend. MORE
Though it’s dangerous to assume anything about leadership in the social networking space (Facebook overtook MySpace as the biggest social network less than a decade ago , after all), the landscape does seem to have matured and stabilized somewhat at this point. Other than some minor jockeying for position, the chart below showing the largest social networks hasn’t changed much in the past few years. MORE
LinkedIn is, of course and unquestionably, the Tom Brady of social media platforms for B2B marketing. But in B2B social media as with NFL quarterbacks, the interesting battle is for second place. For the past decade, Twitter has (most often) been ranked as #2. Is that still the case? MORE
Women aged 35-64 are significantly more likely to click on Facebook ads than any other age/gender cohort. 70% of YouTube video views are on mobile devices. LinkedIn ads reportedly reach 100% of the adult population in Bermuda. MORE
Guest post by Stuart Cooke. When harnessed to its full potential, it’s surprising how powerful LinkedIn can be as a marketing tool. Not only can building a presence on the platform help to boost brand awareness, but it allows you to provide users with quality content, which in turn enhances your status as a trusted, go-to source in your industry.

Twitter and LinkedIn remain the top two social networks for B2B marketers. Twitter offers some specific capabilities (such as lists ) that make it uniquely valuable for B2B companies. That said, there are some disturbing signs developing for Twitter (and the B2B marketers who rely on the platform). Per recent research , though 77% of B2B marketers say they use Twitter to distribute content, Twitter use is down 8% since 2014. Image credit: CMI. MORE

Guest post by Brandon Brown. In survey after survey, year after year, lead generation is a top priority for B2B brands. No matter how big or small, B2B businesses can’t survive without new leads. Generating high-quality leads is essential to get more sales and more revenue. And every business wants more revenue to grow and expand. No leads means no clients and therefore, no sales. However, the process of lead generation is not that easy. MORE

You’d never speed down the freeway at night with your headlights turned off. You’d never walk down a busy city street blindfolded. And you’d certainly never talk about your brand or product at a business conference or networking event…while wearing noise-cancelling headphones. It’s preposterous even to suggest such things. Why then do so many brands fail to do basic brand monitoring on social networks, and across the Internet more generally? MORE
By Peter Caputa. I did a website analysis and custom demonstration for a local IT recruiting company recently. This is a very successful company. They’re a leader in their field and they have a good number of recruiters working for them.

If you know anything about recruiting, you know that identifying passive candidates (i.e., MORE
