Social media is continuing to grow in importance in businesses’ marketing campaigns, reports the 2011 Chief Marketer Social Marketing Survey. Nearly three-fourths (73 percent) of respondents say their companies now use social media in their marketing campaigns, up from 64 percent who said so last year. The trend is growing, with 15 percent planning to launch social initiatives in the coming year—so that in a year’s time, only 10 percent will not be using social media.
