Actionable Advice to Leverage Social Brand Identity
Peter Friedman, social media pioneer, CEO and Chairman of
LiveWorld, a social media company providing services and software
for Fortune 500 companies, brings 30 years of experience to “The
CMO’s Social Media Handbook: A Step-by-Step Guide for Leading
Marketing Teams in the Social Media World.” Friedman encourages
companies to increase loyalty and deepen relationships with
customers in social marketing through strategy and execution,
practical advice, real-world examples, and his own expertise.
The CMO’s Social Media Handbook is written for senior marketing
leaders to leverage social media to support brand-marketing
initiatives that create stronger connections between customers and
brands.
Friedman challenges marketers to reconsider social media
marketing for their organizations, and to develop the changes they
need to execute a resolute marketing plan that connects business
goals and ROI to social media execution to create crucial dialogue
and loyal customer relationships.
Not just a social media fan piece covering common tactics, this
book provides senior executives and marketing professionals with
practical hands-on tools to wield social as an effective marketing
form to guide organizations and drive results.
Friedman emphasizes, “The CMO’s Social Media Handbook is
transforming how marketing professionals establish brand identity
across the web by telling the stories of their customers, and
involving them with their brands. Marketers recognize now is the
time to create a sustained dialogue with customers and deepen
relationships.”
Readers uncover the necessary steps brands must take to become
more customer-centric at a global scale — how to bring your brand
alive for customers, the appropriate methods to define KPIs, and
measurements that demonstrate ROI and quantifiable business impact,
in addition to the tools that will enhance loyalty and
advocacy.
Crowd Companies Founder Jeremiah Owyang offers The CMO’s Social
Media Handbook high praise: “Read this book to hear from one of the
most seasoned executives in the social business space, Peter
Friedman, a leader with hands-on experience coupled with business
vision.”
“Peter brings a combination of strategic perspective and
tactical relevance that unites executive leadership and social
media practitioners into an effective marketing team for the 21st
century,” adds Chetan Bhargava, CMO of Seasonal & Outdoor
Living at Sears Holding Corporation.
The CMO’s Social Media Handbook has been well received in its
digital format, with the hardcover edition now available for sale
at Amazon.com.
