Every company has challenges to social media marketing success, some internal, some external. When marketers look to solve these problems, they often look to software first. But software is only part of the solutions.<\/p>\n<p>I caught up with Erika Brookes from <a title=\"Vitrue - Social Media Management Tool\" href=\"http:\/\/vitrue.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Oracle-Vitrue<\/a> last week to chat about some of the challenges her clients are seeing in the social space and how they&#8217;re solving them.
