TMalone-Marketing-Social-Media-MarketingSocial media marketing is the online tool that people use to share content, profiles, opinions, insights, experiences, perspectives, knowledge and media itself, thus facilitating conversations and online interaction between groups of people with interest on relevant subjects. The content of social media sites is primarily user-generated.
