Brands should not also fight for position only, but must try to achieve a certain engagement. Not only care about connecting with consumers causing them to see the message, you also have to get some response from him. They see the messages but not respond to them does not work, the end to much. Brands have to get something else: they have to make users of social networks respond to content and ‘let hit’ by it.
