The world of social media has changed, but the basics are still the same. It is no longer possible to ignore its potential as a marketing tool. Instead, brands should focus on connecting with their audience and solving problems that matter to them.

But while it is important to make use of the latest trends and techniques, remember that there are some classic marketing principles that you should follow.
