Many businesses see the positive benefit of using social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, to help increase the visibility of their brand. Business leaders may be experts in turning profit margins but often have little insight into the intricate details of blogging, podcasts and other forms of social media. This creates an opportunity for creative talent, such as a search engine optimization consultant or a public relations specialist, to lead the company's social media efforts.
When business relationships end in bitter disputes, a looming question often centers around who owns the online creative property. Without a well-defined relationship, social media disputes can quickly erupt. A business owner may argue that the portfolio of information online is a key part of the company's intellectual property. The creative talent administering the social media sites might fight back saying the information online is a result of their ideas and hard work.
