CEO's That Know Social Media Get More Respect -[Study]

CEOs are the public face of most companies and if they aren't showing up on social media like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn they are missing a big opportunity, according to a new report.

The study by social media consulting firm BRANDfog found that 82 percent of respondents to a survey said they are more likely to trust a company if its CEO and leadership were engaged with social media.

It found that 77 percent of respondents were more likely to buy from a company whose CEO and top execs were getting their message out on social media.

The study comes as a number of Silicon Valley companies dive into the Business Journals Social Madness competition presented by Capital One Spark Business.
