14 Must-See Social Media Marketing Success Stories

What makes a social media campaign successful in 2014? It's often about seizing the moment on Twitter (Arby's).

The following slides highlight 14 of the best social media marketing campaigns we've seen since we published our last roundup in August 2013: "12 Buzz-Worthy Social Media Success Stories."
