I’ve attached a presentation that I give on explaining social media (in its broadest sense) – i.e. social networks, digital content, listening tools, reputation management, content marketing etc… along with case studies of businesses using social media to both good and bad effect. Also covers  how social media platforms have become enablers for the mass spread of ideas and memes.  Have a read through and get back with any comments etc…

Embedded is a presentation that I have put together which gives an overview of how businesses can and are using social media and looks at some of the tools and platforms available. It mainly examines how businesses are using it to engage  externally but it also covers how businesses use social technologies internally in their organisations.
