Regina Luttrell’s work provides an important bridge between social media theory and practice. It’s one of the best books for helping students learn how to both understand and “do” social media. The 4th Edition provides many vital updates on this ever-changing subject matter and several key insights into today’s volatile social media environment.

Rob Baron, associate professor, Department of Communication, Austin Peay State University
I have used Social Media: How to Engage, Share, and Connect in my courses the past four years because it provides an accessible and informative introduction to social media strategy. Luttrell offers a great framework for understanding and practicing social media and this fourth edition features great new examples, links, and a focus on small business.

Erin F. Doss, Associate Professor of Communication Arts, Indiana University Kokomo
The fourth edition of Social Media: How to Engage, Share, and Connect is a comprehensive text that provides immense value for students and social media professionals alike. Luttrell is methodical and engaging, balancing the use of hard research with the incorporation of case studies and real resources giving readers the tools to be on the forefront of the field. I can’t recommend this book enough for anyone who desires to have a deeper understanding of strategic social media communication in the business world.
