# Which Social Media Platforms Should Your Company Be On?

[Blog](https://mktgessentials.com/blog) › [Social Media](https://mktgessentials.com/blog/topic/social-media) › Which Social Media Platforms Should Your Company Be On?

![social-media.jpg](https://mktgessentials.com/hubfs/Changed%20Blog%20Images/social-media.jpg)

Which social channels are you using in your marketing? Are you sure they are the right channels for your organization? Are you reaching your audience? Are they engaging with your brand? If your audience isn’t engaging with your brand, then they might just be hanging out with your competitors in their social channels.   
In 2013, only 60% of companies were using social media, now 90% of companies are in social for marketing purposes. Don’t get left behind!

## How Do You Know You’re Using the Right Social Channels?

There are thousands of social channels out there. Even if you narrow it down to just the [major social channels](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites), there are still too many for any one organization to effectively manage for marketing. And, quite honestly, you don’t need to be on all the social channels. You need to focus your social marketing efforts in the channels that your personas are actively using.

The first step in determining which social media channels your company should be actively marketing in is to look at the demographics. Here’s a demographic breakdown of seven top social media channels:

## [Facebook](http://facebook.com) Demographics & Stats

First, you should know that 62% of the entire global adult population is on Facebook. ([Pew Research](http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/08/19/the-demographics-of-social-media-users/)) With [1.44 billion monthly active users](http://investor.fb.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=908022), Facebook is definitely the leader of the social channels. But, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right channel for you to focus your social marketing efforts.

**Who’s on Facebook? Consider these demographic statistics:**

66% of all male internet users are on Facebook  
77% of all female internet users are on Facebook  
71% of all urban internet users are on Facebook  
72% of all suburban internet users are on Facebook  
69% of all rural internet users are on Facebook  
87% of 18-29 year-old internet users are on Facebook  
73% of 30-49 year-old internet users are on Facebook  
63% of 50-64 year-old internet users are on Facebook  
56% of 65 year-old and up internet users are on Facebook

## [YouTube](http://youtube.com) Demographics & Stats

YouTube is a little different from other social channels like Facebook and Twitter. It is one form of content – videos. And you only interact in the form of comments, likes & shares on those videos. Interestingly, YouTube is part social, part search engine. YouTube is generally recognized as the [number 2 most-used search engine](https://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/articles/i-want-to-do-micro-moments.html). If you aren’t using [video as a form of content in your inbound marketing](http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/video-marketing-statistics), then you are falling behind.

**Who’s on YouTube? Consider these demographic statistics:**

82% of 14-17 year-old internet users are on YouTube  
72% of 18-24 year-old internet users are on YouTube  
58% of 25-55 year-old internet users are on YouTube  
43% of 56 year-old and up internet users are on YouTube  
[According to YouTube,](https://www.youtube.com/yt/press/statistics.html) their channel reaches more 18-49 year-olds than any single cable network in the US.

## [LinkedIn](http://linkedin.com) Demographics & Stats

LinkedIn is generally considered to be the [first choice for B2B social](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/linkedin-tips-what-you-must-know-b2b-marketing-jerome-knyszewski) media marketing. If you are a B2B organization, you should definitely look at LinkedIn as part of your inbound marketing mix before you consider marketing on any of the other social platforms.

**Who’s on LinkedIn? Consider these demographic statistics:**

28% of all male internet users are on LinkedIn  
27% of all female internet users are on LinkedIn  
32% of all urban internet users are on LinkedIn  
29% of all suburban internet users are on LinkedIn  
14% of all rural internet users are on LinkedIn  
23% of 18-29 year-old internet users are on LinkedIn  
31% of 30-49 year-old internet users are on LinkedIn  
30% of 50-64 year-old internet users are on LinkedIn  
21% of 65 year-old and up internet users are on LinkedIn

**LinkedIn also has the highest income and education levels of any of the social channels:**

44% of LinkedIn users earn over $75,000 per year  
50% of LinkedIn users have a college degree

## [Twitter](http://twitter.com) Demographics & Stats

Like many of the newer social platforms, Twitter skews to a younger audience. Twitter is also showing greater increases in male users over female users. If you are targeting a younger, more urban audience (see stats below), Twitter may be a strong social channel for your digital marketing mix.

**Who’s on Twitter? Consider these demographic statistics:**

24% of all male internet users are on Twitter  
21% of all female internet users are on Twitter  
25% of all urban internet users are on Twitter  
23% of all suburban internet users are on Twitter  
17% of all rural internet users are on Twitter  
37% of 18-29 year-old internet users are on Twitter  
25% of 30-49 year-old internet users are on Twitter  
12% of 50-64 year-old internet users are on Twitter  
10% of 65 year-old and up internet users are on Twitter

## [Pinterest](http://pinterest.com) Demographics & Stats

Pinterest is essentially an image curation platform. If you have a very visual product or service, and you are targeting women (see stats below), you may very well want to consider Pinterest in your social marketing strategy mix. Interestingly, Pinterest is the only social channel with the highest population in rural areas.

**Who’s on Pinterest? Consider these demographic statistics:**

13% of all male internet users are on Pinterest  
42% of all female internet users are on Pinterest  
25% of all urban internet users are on Pinterest  
29% of all suburban internet users are on Pinterest  
30% of all rural internet users are on Pinterest  
34% of 18-29 year-old internet users are on Pinterest  
28% of 30-49 year-old internet users are on Pinterest  
27% of 50-64 year-old internet users are on Pinterest  
17% of 65 year-old and up internet users are on Pinterest

## [Snapchat](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snapchat/id447188370?mt=8) Demographics & Stats

Snapchat is the leader in what is called “ephemeral marketing.” Available only as an app on mobile devices, Snapchat users send snaps that last from 10 seconds to 24 hours. Once the set time period expires, the snap is gone. Four hundred million snaps are sent each day by over 100 million active Snapchat users. [Snapchat continues to create avenues for companies to effectively market on their channel.](https://www.snapchat.com/ads)

**Who’s on Snapchat? Consider these demographic statistics:**

70% of Snapchat users are male  
30% of Snapchat users are female  
23% of US 13-17 year-olds are using Snapchat  
37% of US 18-24 year-olds are using Snapchat  
26% of US 25-34 year-olds are using Snapchat  
12% of US 35-54 year-olds are using Snapchat  
2% of US 55 year-olds and up are using Snapchat

## [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/) Demographics & Stats

[Instagram is a mobile-first app](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/instagram/id389801252), but not exclusive to mobile like Snapchat. Instagram is a very visual platform (Aside: Honestly, all social platforms are visual. You need great imagery to be successful in any social channel.)

**Who’s on Instagram? Consider these demographic statistics:**

22% of all male internet users are on Instagram  
29% of all female internet users are on Instagram  
28% of all urban internet users are on Instagram  
26% of all suburban internet users are on Instagram  
19% of all rural internet users are on Instagram  
53% of 18-29 year-old internet users are on Instagram  
25% of 30-49 year-old internet users are on Instagram  
11% of 50-64 year-old internet users are on Instagram  
6% of 65 year-old and up internet users are on Instagram

As you consider social, use the demographic information to guide your initial decisions. But, once you’re in a social channel use metrics around engagement to determine if it is truly the right channel for you. How do people engage with your channel? Are they liking, favoriting, sharing, retweeting, commenting? If your engagement numbers are low it could be you are not providing the right content for your audience, or it could be your primary audience isn’t on that channel.
