Social Media is About Sociology Not Technology

Technology is just that, technology. The tools will change. The networks will evolve. Mediums for distributing content will grow. In the era of the attention crash and social network fatigue, it is absolutely critical that we step back to realize that we are the communication bridge between companies and people. The future of marketing integrates traditional and social tools, connected by successful, ongoing relationships with media, influencers, and people. The tools we use will evolve and multiply over time; some will win, some will thrive and others will fly under the radar (but they’re still important).

What Makes Social Media Trustworthy? One thing that makes social media marketing powerful is consumers’ trust in “people like them”—their friends, family and other online peers.

What Makes Social Media Trustworthy?

Marketers want to tap into that trust through the power of earned media or by engaging in a conversation with consumers, but where social conversations take place has an effect on their perceived trustworthiness as well as who is taking part in them. A study of frequent social media users by market research firm Invoke Solutions found that the most trusted information was posted by people respondents knew. But blog posts were more likely to be trusted “completely” than posts on Facebook, and trust dropped off sharply when it came to Twitter, even among friends.

Postings by brands or companies were trusted less, but levels were similar whether companies posted to Facebook or blogs. Some other seeming signs of authenticity mattered less to users, however, including length of participation and number of participants.
