It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
Very well said! I think that social media is nothing complicated - if it is for leisure at least. When it comes to the marketing side - it is just another, more informal place where to apply your knowledge. It is a mere possiblity, that is easy to handle and doesn't require so much effort. The only thing that is more complicated are the tools connected with social media - for monitoring and others. They must be used by people who really know what we are talking about.
