Understanding Social Business at Southwest
“We do so much more than tweet”
“We are strategists. our job is to transform Southwest Airlines into a truly social business where social is an indispensable part of the business.”
Some examples of how Southwest Airlines interacts with popular topics and stays relevant.

Thanks for coming Brie!
