At a strategic level, social media marketing involves managing a marketing campaign, steering it, determining the scope (e.g., more active or passive use), and determining the desired "culture" and "tone" of a company for social media. When using social media marketing, businesses can allow customers and internet users to post user-generated content (e.g., online comments, product reviews, etc.), also known as "earned media", instead of using marketing copy created by the marketer .

Social networking websites enable individuals, businesses, and other organizations to interact with one another and build relationships and communities online. When businesses join these social channels, consumers can interact with them directly. This interaction can be more personal to users than traditional outbound marketing and advertising methods. Social networking sites act as word of mouth, or more precisely word of mouth. The internet's ability to reach billions around the world has given word of mouth online a powerful voice and wide reach.
