12 social media tools to find people online!
March 26th, 2008
In our social media consultancy, we’re finding that target audiences for our clients are becoming more and more specific…sometimes down to a list of individuals. With the rise of social networks, it’s becoming possible to reach a group of individuals through PR, as opposed to the broad brush approach that is often applied to more traditional media.
As a result, we’ve spent some time refining the tools that we use to research particular individuals.
