Twenty or thirty years earlier, there were conversations between people sharing their shopping and product or service experiences, but it used to happen between individuals interacting on a one to one basis. Today, through social media, we can do the same but with a much, much bigger platform. What media-savvy marketers do now is to first find the right audience for their product or service before connecting with them, and then share intriguing content to keep them hooked and talking \u2013 creating awareness and likeability with interesting brand conversations.<\/p>

Easy as it might be to make the reputation of a brand today, social media can also be the cause for breaking the image of a brand easily. A harsh view by a customer could go viral and damage the brand in a day. Marketers need to be doubly alert about what people are talking of the brand in order to rectify any negative connotations pronto. They also need to have a flexible attitude and mindset to make any changes to put the brand on track. For this to happen though, the TAT or turn-around time is critical for marketers to stay on top.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
