How personal is the voice of the account?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blog<\/strong><br \/>\nDo we position ourselves as progressive thinking company that regularly writes in-depth editorials or do we push product announcements and speaking gigs. What would be most useful for our business goals (hyping up vs. consumer focused)?<\/p>\n<p><strong>LinkedIn and everything else<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile we all love new social networks the only real question is &#8211; do we actually reach anyone on that platform?<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you know why your social media presence is structured like it is?
