As the number of social media users continues to climb to over 3.2 billion*, social matters more than ever to businesses around the world.
Hootsuite surveyed over 9,000 B2B and B2C organizations of varying sizes across North America; Europe; the Middle East and Africa; Asia Pacific; and Latin America to examine how organizations manage social, what they do on social—and the main challenges they face.
The study found that North America no longer leads the way. Social media is increasingly important to companies everywhere; 80 percent said it mattered more than the year before. Importantly, the people controlling the purse strings are putting their weight behind social. Only 28 percent of respondents find it difficult to convince CEOs to invest in social.
