How marketing and communication people use social media

In a small survey done by agency Mindjumpers.com, among people working in marketing and communication (primarily from Denmark), the company got some interesting insights.

Contributor Jonas Klit Nielsen from Mindjumpers.com shares them with you in this post.

The survey had about 170 valid responses and people were asked about their behavior on social media.

Here are some of the results:

People have no time to see their friends because they’re too busy talking to them on Facebook

– 92% of the respondents use Facebook
– The majority use it for personal purposes to stay in touch with their friends and stay up-to-date about their status
– People are mainly sharing and exploring content and talking to friends

In other words: If you have no time to visit your friends offline – be the best friend ever on Facebook!

LinkedIn is where your ego shines

– 60% use LinkedIn
– It’s mainly used as a professional networking tool where people keep track of contacts and brand themselves

Baring this in mind you may brush your hair before taking your profile picture. After all it is your logo.

Your new TV is YouTube

– The majority use it for fun and entertainment

There is a stalker inside you

– 27% read blogs every day
