Technique Overview
Social Media Marketing Definition
Social media marketing describes the use of "online applications, platforms and media which aim to facilitate interactions, collaborations and sharing of content" (Kim and Ko, 2011). Social media includes "media for social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques [and] web-based technologies to transform and broadcast media monologues into social media dialogues" (Dutta, 2010). Social media and Web 2.0 are often used interchangeably, while the latter encompasses a category of online applications (Constantinides and Fountain, 2008).
