What The SEC Social Media Ruling Means For Enterprises (Hootsuite)
What Does This Mean For Your Enterprise? More transparency, for one. In the age of social media, businesses are more connected than ever to their customers and users. But the connection doesn’t stop there. While businesses continue to utilize social media primarily for marketing and sales, the SEC’s April 2nd decision is a prime example of how social media is becoming a tool for internal communications and investor relations.
