Social Business pioneer invests in empowering community managers for more effective social engagement
Santa Monica, CA – April 30, 2012 – Nimble, the award-winning Social Relationship Manager, today announced that it is now offering qualifying community managers across the globe a one-year complimentary business edition subscription. Acknowledging social media early adopters as the linchpin for wider social business integration, Nimble empowers community managers to be more successful at connecting, listening and engaging with contacts across multiple social streams.
“Community managers are the first point of social contact at most companies and the ones that sales people go to for social selling advice,” said Jon Ferrara, CEO, Nimble. “At Nimble we’re not just enabling social selling, we’re empowering companies to become complete social businesses. That starts with the first conversation which can happen with the community manager, sales, marketing or support. Nimble enables a unified approach to connecting the social conversations to the customer no matter which department is having them.”
“Community managers do more than just manage content calendars and tweet all day long,” Michael Brito, SVP, Social Business, Edelman, reminds us. “The truth is, many community managers today are already driving fully robust social CRM programs.”
“The best community managers tirelessly work to promote their brands,” My Community Manager’s Tim McDonald says. “To do that, community managers today need an engagement platform that allows them to switch message and platform as appropriate, automatically connecting the conversations the entire company is having with their community to the contacts they’re having them with. Nimble gives them that and more.”
