Social media marketing beyond facebook and twitter

Many Kenyan brands and personalities have embraced the internet in some form. At the Tandaa Symposium earlier this year, Japie Swanepoel, presented finding from a study carried out on companies listed on the Nairobi Stock Exchange and how they promote their brand on the internet.

But to be truly innovative, brands must push the envelope and embrace the full potential of social media, beyond facebook and twitter.
