SOCIAL MEDIA & MEDIA STRATEGY
A NEW STRATEGY FOR 2009 ?
Yann CARRÉ

After the first impact of the economic hardship, 2009 will be the year for change.

Marketing directors seem to swing between the need for change and the fear to adopt new models and to try new tools.
Amongst the other media that have become fashionable lately, social media attracted my attention. Actually, wether it is a low cost media, that answers to customers' need for personal relationship with brands, people still question its efficiency.
