Scott Monty is head of social media for Ford Motor company. In this interview he explains how Ford recognized that is was strategically important for them to be a leader in digital communication and that they needed to keep pace of what’s going on externally.
According to him, advertising is necessary, especially when you are trying to reach a mass market. Social media is a complement to, not a substitute for advertising. It’s another way of connecting with people and less about getting a message out there than about engaging with people, giving them a voice and listening to them. To Scott Monty, social media is about relationships and a long-term commitment to build trust. Watch the entire interview here:
