Social Media for BtoB

We all know that social media marketing is becoming always more important for companies, but what happen if your company is not a BtoC but a BtoB? are social media still useful for your company? Generally speaking yes, they help you build a strong brand awareness and ease the hiring process, because if you are looking for candidates more people know your company and more possibilities you have to find the resource you are looking for.

Creativity is a state of mind, you don’ get to become a creative. Creative people are not practicing how to become more creative or how to use their imagination, they just were born in that way, they have a different world view.
