Great Roundtable! @Kristin - Your knowledge and expertise shine through in your contributions and how you moved the discussion in a timely fashion. Thank you for linking this roundtable with account based marketing. That was very helpful. @Mathieu - Great statement that social media is a strategy, not a tactic. It places social media in a completely different head space which is necessary for effective use within the funnel. @Carlos - Your advice of using social media for peer content and thought leadership within the early stages of the funnel is thought provoking. @ Kathleen - I agree that if a company is to use social media then social media must be someone's job or it will never be used effectively for the funnel.
