Great piece. Although the results are not surprising, I find your research to be quite interesting. As you indicate, organizations know that in order to be successful in social media marketing, they need a "clearly defined, consistently practiced, repeatable process."

It's staggering to think that 71% of the organizations you surveyed have either "no process" or an "informal process" when it comes to "creating a social media strategy with a definitive plan of action." We saw this problem start to emerge about a year ago, which is why Media Logic developed Zeitgeist & Coffee our social media marketing management suite. While there was a lot of casual interest in Z&C during most of 2009, we've seen a surge in interest and engagements over the past two months…and the results have been outstanding.
