It's become increasingly commonplace for businesses to use social media
to connect with and learn about consumers.
PR firm Burson-Marsteller studied the 100 largest companies in the Fortune
500 list and found that 79% of them are present and listening,
using at least of one of the most popular social platforms to communicate with
their customers.
Twitter is the social media platform of choice among the Fortune Global
100. Between blogging, posting to YouTube, updating Facebook, and
tweeting, the companies seem, by and large, to be most active via
Twitter. Eighty-two percent of the Fortune 100 companies tweet on a weekly
basis, posting an average of 27 tweets a week.
Fifty-four percent have at least one Facebook fan page, 50% have at least one YouTube channel, and 33% have at least one corporate blog. Twenty percent of the
companies use all four social media platforms.
