In Chicago, Social Media Is Now The Media
Social media, and Twitter in particular, are big here in Chicago.
According to HubSpot’s “Top Twitter Cities” Chicago is number 3 in the world, behind London and Los Angeles.
Now, this Hubspot grade is not about the number of Twitter users, but based on the the number of “elite” Twitter users in an area.
What does this mean for your Chicago business? Connecting with those in the Chicago social media world is a great way to generate word of mouth about your business or product. Investing time in social networking is more and more important as social networking activity continues to grow. It has recently overtaken porn as the 1 activity for people on the web.
When you look at the top 50 Chicago Twitter users you see that they are not just marketers, PR people, or advertisers. They are the folks that are innovators, journalists, publications, and brands that truly have a pulse on the City.
No longer is social media some new or experimental format, it is the media.
As business in Chicago, social media presents itself as a giant opportunity to expand your business. With an accurate plan and measurable objectives the time to act is now.
