With so many social media applications now available with target markets spread across the majority, it becomes an extremely challenging task for businesses to keep up with them. As a result, marketers, brand managers and business owners, whether of larger corporations or SME’s, at some point face a serious dilemma – should we or should we not outsource social media management?
