It's Official: Fortune 100 CEOs are Social Media Slackers

by Michel St-André at 16:06 PM (No comment)

A research conducted this week by UberCEO.com demonstrated that the Top 100 Fortune CEOs are all, except a few exceptions, missing from the Social Media community. The main observations are:

  • Only two CEOs have Twitter accounts.
  • 13 CEOs have LinkedIn profiles, and of those only three have more than 10 connections.
  • 81% of CEOs don't have a personal Facebook page.
  • Three quarters of the CEOs have some kind of Wikipedia entry, but nearly a third of those have limited or outdated information.
  • Not one Fortune 100 CEO has a blog.

This tells us that big bosses are not really understanding (or do not want to understand) what are the new strategies and tools that could help them communicate with their target audiences. Social Medias are a great way to dialogue with customers, partners and employees. These top CEOs are simply stuck in the last millennium and are missing a great opportunity to reinforce their fragile brand image...

Here’s a great slideshow from UberCEO.com illustrating their research:
