Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube have changed the way we connect with customers, friends, and family. As a result, customer service, public relations, and marketing strategies must adapt to this societal shift.

Top organizations listen closely to their stakeholders and take action based on their feedback. Social media gives everyone a voice, allowing their opinions to be heard. It has also blurred the lines between customer service, PR, and marketing.
