What was once a way to keep up with the Joneses became a lucrative, serious media platform for publishers, businesses and entrepreneurs. If you’re trying to spread the word about your company, looking for a job or simply trying to draw attention to your “brand,” it’s very necessary to think strategy when it comes to social media.
