B2B Social Business Bill of Rights | Don’t Get it Wrong!

By Joel York on October 9, 2012

Which is more important in B2B social media, social or media? For way too many B2B marketers, the answer is media, because they see social media as a marketing communications channel. It is not! Social media is a tool to energize your B2B social business network.
