		<description>Great post. I think the time has come to embrace the change and switch to a digital marketing strategy. No longer is it acceptable to only utilize traditional methods of marketing. Social media is changing the way businesses interact with customers, and the fact of the matter is, your brand is being talked about online weather you are of part of it or not.</description>

		<description>Great post Lee. You gave a complete overview of some vital strategies to leverage social media. I would just add that social media requires a higher level of sincerity and authenticity than traditional marketing. Cultivate relationships and add value.</description>

		<description>Great post - there is no question that a certain procedure list can be followed to build great social media links.  And that it probaly requires a different skill set from a typical direct marketer as it is less measureable and more relationship based.</description>
