The power of social media for businesses and leaders is in its unparalleled power to reach audiences of great size, Twitter exec Aliza Knox says.
Speaking to BlueNotes on video, Knox, who is vice president of online sales at Twitter in the Asia Pacific, said social media is “where today’s customers are”.
"There are three networks that can reach an audience of over a billion - Google, Facebook and Twitter, so that’s one reason to be on it, just for audience reach."

“There are three networks that can reach an audience of over a billion - Google, Facebook and Twitter, so that’s one reason to be on it, just for audience reach.”
