...began as a small production shop that ad agencies hired to create digital media content for their clients. Over time, Mekanism evolved into a creative production company with expertise in making content go viral. Between the years of 2008 and 2010, using its storytelling creative approach coupled with a multifaceted social-media distribution system, Mekanism proved to be successful in many viral campaigns. With consumers’ ability to skip ads and the changing media landscape, more-and-more clients seemed willing to take a chance with viral advertising. Viral marketing was initially sought out by small advertisers, because of its promise to reach millions of consumers quickly and cheaply. After seeing the success of viral marketing, major advertisers began to use this promotional tool. As Mekanism began taking in business from big-name brands like Pepsi, Nike, and Microsoft, the company started to flourish, experiencing 32% year-over-year average growth from 2007 to 2010. Yet in 2010, the firm only grew 10% in billings with fewer new clients signing on with the company. This lack of potential growth made it apparent that Mekanism needed change. In order to sustain the growth of their company and fend off competition, upper management needs to define their next step. Should they stay with what is working, and mainly focus on viral marketing, or should they embrace other traditional content and media, effectively becoming a full service-advertising agency?

Chi's definition underlines the vital understanding of customers that the marketers must gain ‘personal channel and user centred networking’; retailers who have a deeper understanding of their consumers can ensure their marketing strategies are effective. This review examines current literature that focuses on Social Media Marketing as a promotional tool in...
