The document discusses the rise of social media and its impact on brand management. It shows that consumers now spend more time on social platforms like Facebook and blogs than email. Brands can use social media to gain market insights from continuous consumer feedback and target customers through personalized digital campaigns. However, some brands are reluctant to use social media due to concerns about losing control and not having the resources to properly engage on these new channels. The document advocates for brands to embrace social media but be prepared to listen to consumers and change based on their input in order to build engagement over control.
