Being business web and social media consultants, when we get asked this question (and we get asked this question a lot), it’s almost always in the context of a business no longer knowing who manages its LinkedIn page in the first place! More often than not, the employee who first set-up the company’s business page on LinkedIn, is long gone.

Blog content allows clients to learn and understand exactly how a business and its people deliver a quality product or service. In this day and age of digital, if a business isn’t demonstrating its knowledge via a blog, they’re not demonstrating their business’ value to potential clients!

While it may seem that you're involved in a battle with your web designer, it is their job to ensure you keep your company message and branding on track.

You've likely seen the latest rash of Facebook posts that give you 10 seconds to spell a nonsensical word that a 1st grader could figure out. These posts are nothing more than bogus ways to game Facebook's Edgerank algorithm. If your social media agency is doing this, you may want to rethink your market strategy for Facebook (and your agency).

Inaccurate branding of a new business can make it difficult for people to grasp what a business is about. However, this CEO may be taking it a bit too far. Have you ever had a boss like this one? Feel free to share your comments!

We started this series with 3 blunders...er...items, in no particular order, that may lead you to believe that you've hired the wrong social media agency. We aren't a social media agency per se, but we do provide managed services in this arena. However, we're not here to pitch, but rather point out what companies need to avoid when making social media choices.

Nothing. Unless you're a big Danish bank AND your traditional marketing agency used professional models to stage provocative pictures (used in television commercials) when your publically stated goal was: ...to restore trust in the Bank and ensure that we live up to our new vision of being "Recognised as the most trusted financial partner."
