Yesterday we posted about statistics from MarketingSherpa showing that a lack of knowledge hampers social media marketing , with 46% of firms who had not adopted social media marketing citing a lack on internal understanding as their main hindrance. Another set of statistics from MarketingSherpa paints a more positive outlook for social media agencies.

I’ve come away from the Powering a New Future conference in Lisbon with three interlocking reflections on developing the concept and practice of social reporting - and a new conclusion about what it means to be a social reporter.
My conclusion, inspired by Etienne Wenger - above - is that social reporters can aspire to be “social artists” who help create social learning spaces where people can work together on social issues.
