Watch this video regarding the humanitarian effort the social media industry has put into the world and the history of Jennings Social Media Marketing.

Social media has changed the world dramatically. We are seeing more and more charitable actions carried out by social media channels. For example, Twestival http://twestival.com is the largest global grassroots social media fundraising initiative to date, raising over $1.2 million within 14 months for 137 nonprofits. Under disastrous circumstances, like the BP oil spill, Tumblr http://www.tumblr.com promoted awareness and raised funds by offering a new background color. When earthquakes devastated Haiti and Chile, Google Earth http://earth.google.com launched special search engines to help families find their loved ones.

Valerie Jennings, the founder and CEO of Jennings Social Media Marketing started the company in 2003. Coinciding with the US social and economic conditions, Jennings has been through the unstable post-9/11 period, inflation, recession as well as natural disasters. As a small business, Jennings not only survived, but thrived during the past 7 years. All of these made us reconsider our values and beliefs. Why are we here, what do our families mean to us and what are our life purposes?
