SWEET: FACEBOOK
STILL KING FOR
SOCIAL MEDIA
MARKETING
In a recent blog post, Editor-in-Chief Jonathan
Sweet wrote about how despite all of the grow-
ing social media networks, Facebook is still
king. "A new study shows that Facebook is only
growing in impor tance as a tool for reaching
potential customers.
"Social Media Update 2016, the latest analy-
sis of social media from the Pew Research Cen-
ter, fi nds that 79 percent of online adults — and
68 percent of all adults — are Facebook users.
That's up from 72 percent of online adults in
2015 and well ahead of other social media."
