Consumer engagement is the resulting impact of firms/brands interacting with consumers through a variety of marketing initiatives. The goal is to create meaningful consumer impact and generate positive behavioral and (or) attitudinal changes. Over the years, marketers have been using variety of strategies to find, target and acquire consumers, and eventually engage with them post-purchase. The explosion of the digital channels, especially social media channels, has now provided marketers with interactive channels to engage their consumers. However, these myriad channels have also made marketers’ job more challenging than ever before. Despite the most recent and hugely successful social media brand building campaigns (e.g., Old Spice, Southwest Airlines), not much is known about the factors that need to be considered when devising a successful social media campaign and engage consumers with brands.

3. More importantly, how to use these channels not only for external but also for internal marketing i.e., excite your employees and empower you internal culture.
