Brands have long struggled to prove social media's value. Marketers say measuring ROI is by far their biggest social challenge. Worse, they admit they're not getting any better at it. When you fail to properly measure social:
Your executives don't think social works. Just 23% of CMOs say they can prove the impact of social programs.
Your company questions its social investment. Social marketers’ inability to measure makes securing budget their second-biggest challenge.
