You just have to look to programs like InstantBuzz and similar, and you will find large names using groups of people to start word of mouth campaigns for them. The problem I see is that when the big players do get into SMM, it becomes harder and harder to trust people's WOM, as you never know who is an incentivised seeder, and who is genuinely giving you an opinion. Your point on metrics is a tricky one: we have neer really been able to measure the benefits of branding, and I think for similar reasons we may never really accuratley be able to measure SMM.

What is popular one day within a niche can be completely destroyed the next. It is important to remain flexible, and still be able to get your brand out there. I’d love to know your thoughts on these ideas, as I often hear the argument that you can’t successfully promote yourself online.
