The study findings indicate that social media not only enables businesses to directly connect with their audience but also facilitates deep interactions, strengthens brands, provides valuable insights, and fosters beneficial collaborations. With its ability to create emotional connections, build strong brand identities, and optimize consumer experiences, social media has become an inevitable force in the modern marketing landscape.
