| Abstract | As social media not only becomes a vital asset in the corporate space in the United States, but an extension of most internal and external functions of an organization, this paper’s goal will be to understand the emerging trends and best practices of social media as they relate to corporate uses. Has social media in fact changed the landscape of corporate America into an integrated extension of consumer and employee behavior, trend monitoring and business development? It is undeniable that social and digital media has played a vital part in bringing consumers closer to the brands they follow, and vice versa, but to what extent are these opportunities being taken advantage of by brands, and to what level of sustained innovation? |
