Social Media Marketing Tactics Going Mainstream?

According to recent research from Unica, via the eMarketer website, social marketing has become a "must have" in organizations. That said, the integration of these sites varies significantly by tactic. Many of the tools continue to be used for discrete events not directly connected to the overall marketing campaigns.
We've seen the same challenge in our institution. How do these statistics compare to your experience with social media marketing in your organization? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    Kevin,
    Interesting statistics. Can you point me to some examples how social media has been successfully integrated in banking and credit unions?

    Thank you

  3. Here is how social media is helping the credit union industry in the HR/recruiting sectors find qualified candidates.

  4. Toni, appreciate your comments. I certainly see the value of job networks on the web. What social media tools (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn)are you using to get the word out about the service and how are you using them?
