32 Top Social Media Management Tools

Social Media Management is the business related function of managing multiple social mediachannels for the purposes of marketing communication, reputation protection, and customer acquisition.

The practice utilizes the internettechnology of social media to talk directly to individual customers and create a level of brand involvement and loyalty not possible with traditional media strategies.

It reaches beyond marketing and into functions such as sales, human resources, and project management.

Social Media Management was not formerly introduced in the workplace until late 2007, as social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter grew to extremely large user counts.

It’s importance became more universally recognized for its effectiveness during the 2008 presidential election in which Barack Obama was able to mobilize a massive proportion of young population using a far reachingsocial media campaign.

Twitter and Facebook were used to mobilize young voters and several debates were held using questions posed in the form of YouTube videos
