The Toulouse expert points out that consumers change their behavior and interests quickly, even when using platforms such as social networks. “Social networks open up multiple possibilities in marketing strategies, but we must consider that from time to time a more attractive or specialized social network appears than another. That is why marketing professionals must be increasingly creative, strategic and analytical, in such a way that we can define where the brand will be present, what it is going to say and how it is going to do it”.
