Matt Smith, Vice President, Customer Insight Both the customer you serve well and the customer you underserve have the loudest voices in social media.

Christine Stasiw Lazarchuk  Director, Global Market Research Online dialog is a good way to get feedback and understand how consumers feel about our brand and to get suggestions for our business. Adam Brown  Director, Digital Communications Cathy Halligan, Chief Marketing Officer Social media monitoring enables us to track how our company is being portrayed. It’s a barometer we use to determine the viral spread of our messages and if our tactics are working. Ed Garsten, Manager,  Electronic Media Communications
