Sane technology advice for growing businesses

POST-CON: Executing Social Media–Social Media Resistance Survey Results

OK, OK. I’ve been promising the results from the Communitelligence Social Media Resistance survey, which were released at the Executing Social Media Conference in Pasadena, California, with the help of USC’s Marshall School of Business.

Here they are. Don’t say I never gave you anything :) (opens in PPT)

I think the results are interesting and telling. I love how the larger a company is, the more it thinks podcasting isn’t useful for its branding. Nope, bigger companies think RSS feeds are all the rage for branding. (Are they serious?)

However, the scrappy small businesses know that online video is where it’s at. For all the small business owners reading this, don’t feel bad–you “get it” more than corporate at this point. Good on ya’!

And of all the respondents, a full 89 percent of companies think their social media adoption is below average or average. Whooty whoot! That means more business for my company!

What are your thoughts about the results?

    @Beth:

    If the PowerPoint was mine to add, I would. Good idea.

    @Will:

    I wish I could take the credit, but I can’t. :) Thanks for the kind words for my colleagues.

    Thanks to all for reading and commenting,

    Lena

    What a great document to examine. Normally I loath PPT files but this one was pretty compelling on it’s own. I would have loved to have heard the talk that went with it (is there such a thing available)?

    Thanks for posting it and hope all is well!

    @Bryan:

    Good to hear from you!

    Actually, I think they have a video of the whole conference.

    It might be available on the website, I’m not sure: http://www.communitelligence.com

    This would have been from the May 2008 conference in Pasadena, CA.

    Hope this helps!
