The B2B integrated marcom manager’s role is expanding thanks to social media optimization (SMO). Marcom managers must connect the social media objects that their companies produce. Social objects are content introduced online such as blog posts and comments, Twitter tweets, videos, etc. that can become catalysts for conversation. These objects are all dangling out there in cyberspace. Individually they lack impact, but collectively, they are more impactful to marketing efforts. By developing content optimization guidelines, B2B integrated marcom managers are enabling social objects to connect, which will drive search results and business results.
