Introduction

As a marketing channel, social media has many applications, and the primary goal for most B2B firms is either brand awareness or lead generation. While usage is high and effectiveness is moderate, the perceived Return-on-Investment (ROI) for social media is quite unspectacular, as this report will detail. Demand Metric in partnership with Socedo set out to discover the current B2B social media practices, collecting over 475 complete and partial responses to the study survey. The data from this survey paints the current social media landscape that this report shares, and the analysis of that data provides best practice insights for improving the results B2B marketers are getting from social media.
