Harvard Business Publishing has released a video that I think can be very valuable to most marketers in South Africa. The video offers seven steps that you can implement to show the value of social media to the management executives within your organisations.
Often the task at hand in business is not showing the value of social media, but rather getting people to believe you and support you.

- Line up other stakeholders ahead of time
- Move quickly
- Seek precedence
- Make friends
- Measure your success
Check out the video to get the details.
