Lead your audience, or become occupied.
Maybe it’s shortsighted on my part, or maybe I’m trying to get a little search traffic from a notion that is making headlines, but I’d rather lead than occupy.

Now let’s apply this lesson to your brand’s Facebook Page.
Switch from “Occupy Your Fan Page” to “Lead Your Fan Page.”

Dedicating yourself to change in partnership with a brand? You must be talking about Sony.
These pages use clear leadership to turn ideas into actions.
If your social change (or presence) isn’t hitting the mark, maybe it’s time to lead rather than occupy the social landscape.
