Must businesses have a social media presence?

Some think that B2B and social media don’t mix. That is wrong: They perfectly do. It is very interesting to look at this aspect of social media presence. There are many questions that people ask themselves when it comes to B2B and social media. Must businesses have a social media presence? Can a major business avoid being on social networks today? Does that concerne businesses in the manufacturing sector? In your opinion, is Space a trending topic on social networks? All these questions are answered by Yann Gourvennec in this article, during his visit at Thales Alenia Space.

Does that concern businesses in the manufacturing sector?

I have repeated time and time again for 10 years than B2B is the future of social media. The manufacturing sector is no exception to this rule. B2B is made of exciting subjects share amongst passionate professionals who are not afraid of bad publicity because they mostly exchange between themselves.
As manufacturing is a technical sphere, there is a huge potential to be extracted from it: exchanging and explaining some technicalities to

Space is always an interesting topic that creates curiosity

I find your question rather strange to be honest. Space is a huge subject on social media. It makes it possible for you to address the general public. Think about Regis McKenna’s mantra: “think about your clients’ clients”. Opportunities abound with such a brilliant topic at hand. Space is a topic that draws the attention of everyone. No matter how old we are, this is something that makes us all curious.
