  • Publication number: 20110145064
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to aspects of an Internet-accessible brand management system (BMS) that allows marketers (e.g., corporations, organizations, etc.) to efficiently organize, create, maintain, and display content associated with many brand categories or brand items within a brand category on a single social media system (SMS) page/account, or alternatively, across many SMS pages or accounts with one or more common content themes. Administrators/developers of individual marketing pages or accounts (global and local) may update their pages through the BMS using standard configurable templates. The system may integrate content from one or more developers to create content for varying pages (for example, by incorporating some global content into local pages according to configurable rules, or vice versa).

  • Publication number: 20110112899
    Abstract: System and method for managing marketing programs on multiple social media systems. The method includes the steps of creating a message for one or more social media systems associated with a marketing program. The message is created via a social relationship management (SRM) system that interfaces with the social media systems. The message may be a simple text message or a multimedia message. Next, delivery of the developed message to the social media systems programs is scheduled. The SRM further customizes the message format according to the rules and requirements of the corresponding social networking systems, before publishing the customized message to the social media systems at the scheduled time. The published messages are monitored and appropriate insights are drawn from the monitored messages and their responses by social media system members.
