Agree Kelsey! Thanks for your comment.
I think it’s great that brands are finally realizing the important of social media and are devoting more of their ad dollars towards it. It will be interesting to see how more brans incorporate more real-time content into their social media marketing strategies. We’ve seen brands like Oreo generate huge buzz because they acted quickly in relevant situations. I wonder who will be the big brand winners during the super bowl. Great article!
