GlobalSpec 2012 Survey: Social Media Use in the Industrial Sector“If your target audience is industrial professionals, you’ll want to develop a social media presence, if you haven’t done so already,” said Chris Chariton, senior vice president for GlobalSpec. “Industrial professionals are adopting social media channels in increasing numbers and spending more time on these platforms for work-related tasks.
