Social Media Marketing
Like traditional marketing, Social Media Marketing shares the same branding and messaging goals, but differs in its execution. Social Media Marketing, or SMM, is a form of Internet Marketing conducted through the many social outlets and opportunities present on the Internet, including social networks, communities, blogs, forums and other emerging forms of online media.
Unlike traditional marketing, Social Media Marketing takes a much more subtle approach because any activity in this arena must be catered to the community-based nature of the social outlet that it serves. An effective SMM campaign must stimulate interest and participation from its target audience without breaking the bonds of consumer trust.
Web Ad.vantage understands the unique challenges of the nature of SMM and develops strategies customized specifically for each client entering the social scene.
What is Social Media?
Popular main-stream social media sites include sites like:

- Flickr
- YouTube
- Digg
- MySpace
- Friendster
- StumbleUpon
- Del.icio.us
- MeetUp
- Propeller
- mixx
However, the term social media also applies to a variety of niche forums, news sites, blogs and industry specific consumer generated content sites. Any site where users generate the content can be considered a social media site. The main activity on social media sites consists of connecting with other like-minded people and/or sharing some form of content.
