Antony Mayfield, Spannerworks Head of Content & Media, said that the first priority for brands looking at social media needed to be understanding:
“Things are moving very quickly in social media and there is a temptation for brands to rush in without taking the time to understand how social media works and what their response should be.
“We wrote this guide as a way of helping people get their head around the basics.”
