Answer to Question 1

Issues mentioned in the chapter include:
 Create exposure
 Disseminate content
 Reduce marketing costs
 Generate sales leads
 Improve search rankings
 Help locate business partners
 Increase traffic to website
 Get customer feedback
 Learn what people are saying about the brand
 Offer customer service
 Attract notice in earned media

It would be good if they referred to some of the best practices at the end of the chapter, especially the importance of starting with a small project where success can be demonstrated, measured and communicated to brand stakeholders inside the business.

If you ask for an example there are many throughout the chapter. My personal least favorite, although it is great fun, is the Old Spice Guy. Reason is that its success stems in large part from going massively viral, and few social media campaigns achieve that.
