  • Twenty-five percent of companies have interns help with social media.
  • Only 5 percent of companies are highly satisfied with their social media campaigns.
  • Almost 90 percent (86 percent) of companies measure social media in terms of likes and followers.
  • The biggest obstacles to measuring social media are a lack of time (65 percent) and manpower (63 percent).
