List of Corporate Social Media Policies

This is a list of social media policies from companies. Use it as guidance as you develop your own social media policies.

The Social Media Agencies and Consultants Lists

Independent Consultants and Experts

These are independent experts, practitioners, and bloggers who offer consulting services to companies. The list includes independents from all geographic regions.

Social Media Boutiques - US

The space is growing so quickly that there are now many social media-focused agencies. Many come from PR roots, but several are also focused on a holistic approach to social technologies. These companies were included here because it appears that their main focus is social media.

Social Media Boutiques - Non-US

Similar to the list above, but segmented by geography.

PR Agencies
Public relations firms have been at the forefront of helping companies "talk" rather than shout to their customers.

Interactive Marketing & Search Agencies
These firms are primarily interactive marketing, search, and media agencies that have developed an expertise or practice in social media. They are established companies with long-standing relationships in the marketing space. Some of them approach social media from an interactive marketing perspective, others from a search marketing angle. Both US and non-US agencies are listed here.
