“At Ignite, we offer clients a roadmap for engaging their audiences in two-way meaningful and manageable dialogue and then we help them move down the road,” said Ellyn Davidson. “This gives clients the advantage of hearing back from their most valued target audiences and engaging customers.”
According to Davidson, Ignite Social Media was created because social media, while maturing quickly for individual use, is still in the early stages for corporate use and brand building.
