by Monika Maeckle, Vice President New MediaNo doubt the commitment required from running a company blog has many PR folks turning to link sharing of existing content on social networking sites. Even hardcore investor relations officers we’ve consulted say they prefer Twitter over a company blog because they don’t have to commit to churning out time-consuming blog posts.
The poll was conducted in November and December through Twitter, Facebook, email and Business Wire’s webinars. Details below:
What is your company’s preferred form of social media outreach?
33, or 11%–Company blog
81, or 29%–Facebook
91, or 33%–Twitter
22, or 8%–LinkedIn
13, or 5% — Other
39, or 14% — We do none of the above
