In case you haven’t heard it enough, 92% of consumers trust the recommendations of their friends and family versus those of brands. We have said it before and we will say it again.

Social Media is evolving and storytelling is going to be the next great tool to engage customers. Most of today's content strategies involve publishing hundreds of bits of content per month across social networks, without any cohesive story or narrative behind the content.

Fine tune that story with Mark Williams, Director Social Strategy and Content Programming of LiveWorld, at WOMM-U May 20-22^nd in Chicago.

There are several key advantages of a personal LinkedIn profile. One, is that it helps you rank for select keywords that may be important for your business or personal brand. For example, at one point in time, I wanted to seek and engage clients in Kickstarter projects. Thus, I optimized my profile, added in projects, resources, and other material to indicate that I was an expert in Kickstarter projects and subsequently rank in 21% of all Kickstarter related searches on LinkedIn. It's truly a powerful way to highlight you as an individual, expert, and a thought leader while representing your company or brand.

For good or bad, people are influenced by their friends. Think of the last time you made a big purchase, like a car, a TV, or maybe your new smartphone. What factors contributed to your purchase decision? Did you get advice from friends and family or read reviews online? According to a recent Nielsen study and WOMMA member Keller Fay, 92% of consumers around the world say they trust earned media sources, such as word of mouth recommendations from peers, friends, and family, above all other forms of advertising. Online consumer reviews are the second most trusted source of brand information and messaging, with 70% of global consumers interviewed saying they trust messages on this platform.
