Absolutely agree with you two. I just feel it’s important to mention that these brands had power long before SM. I think it really proves the idea that you have to work on having a solid ‘real world’ brand as well as in SM. These companies worked hard on all levels to reach their authority status, and if any other brand wants to compete with that, I think they need to keep that in mind.

And I agree, social media is turning into a massive power for businesses. I just think that too many companies jump into this medium without thinking things through. It becomes so easy to reach a target market that it becomes almost deceiving.

The way I see it, the leading brands of the future will be those who combine their online and offline power in a way that ultimately benefits everyone.

Somme excellent points to consider, Angie. I particularly liked the mention of my brand, SMM, which was in use way before it got hijacked by Social Media Marketing. However being visible in appropriate popular keyword searches can’t be bad. 🙂
