LO3: Understand how global industries use social media

Social media is a useful tool for global industries when managing a project/campaign because:

• It allows them to reach a wide, diverse target audience
• It's free to advertise on social media
• It can create a "hype" for their product. If they come up with a hashtag that gets trending then the number of people who see their posts could multiply drastically
• It can reach a targeted audience

*Online project tools count as social media
