The electronic evolution of the written word

The rise of social media has had a dramatic impact on the way businesses write

 

Over the past 10 years, the world as we once knew it has changed drastically. We now live and work in an environment where social media provide a platform for the sharing of experiences, ideas and knowledge. The dynamics of marketing, communications and customer relations have changed forever thanks to social media and a network of connected devices in a global environment.
