“Five years from now, any company that does not have an executive social media strategy will be completely behind in this space. The amount of engagement that you can generate with customers, clients, employees, and even recruits can be so incredibly valuable that every company in the Fortune 500 needs to seriously consider building out an executive social media function if they haven’t already."
