Overview


OMMA Social: Make Money Making Friends

When Microsoft bought a small stake in Facebook last year which valued the burgeoning social network at $15 billion, all eyes immediately turned to advertisers, who are expected to populate social networks in droves and prove the value not just of Facebook, but of the entire social networking industry. According to eMarketer, advertisers spent an estimated $920 million on social networking sites in the US in 2007, and are projected to spend $1.6 billion in 2008. But while major online media players scramble to buy up stakes in hot properties, and ad spending in social media increases, the questions are increasing as well.

What metrics are out there to let me measure the success of my social media initiatives? Where are examples of companies who have been successful with their social media initiatives? What companies have failed, and why? How should my social media efforts coordinate with other parts of my media mix, and how is social media being integrated to new platforms, such as mobile?
