Full Episode Details
Customer service is the bloodline of most businesses and the rise of social media has enabled brands to pursue a direct connection with their customers. However, a lot of the time, it’s easier said than done.
Working for a 600,000-employee federal agency is far from being the most fertile ground for social media communication. This is the challenge that Nicholas Sucich, the Executive Manager of Digital Communications at USPS faces on a daily basis. People are sending less mail these days and, in many ways, social media is to blame.
So, how can you make social an integral part of your digital communication strategy when there are literally thousands of players and not everyone remembers you’re all on the same team? It starts with getting social media approved in your organization and to do that, you need to get a seat at the table and sell social to your corporate leadership.
