BERLIN, Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — TechBehemoths – the platform that matches reputable IT companies and service providers with projects, performed a survey among 310 IT companies between September 1-31, 2021. The survey called "How IT Companies Use Social Media" revealed important information about Social Media Channels and how IT companies use these platforms to promote.
The poll of respondents was randomly selected from a total of 56.000 companies the platform hosts, and it turned out that most of them are specializing in the following services:
- Web and software development (28.4%)
- Advertising and Media (23.9%)
- UI/UX (17%)
- Mobile and app development (13.6%)
The survey revealed that 33% of companies face budget problems in their social media activity. Targeting, competition, and conversion are also giving IT companies hard times. The survey results about challenges IT companies face on social media are as follows:
- Budget – 33%
- Targeting – 33%
- Competition – 16.7%
- Conversion – 16.7%

- ¼ of respondents called "reach" as the main benefit
- 19.4% were for leads
- 19.4% called awareness the biggest benefit
- 13.9% mentioned branding
Another important aspect the survey touches is how IT companies plan their resources for social media advertising. Stunningly, the survey revealed that 41.9% of IT companies don’t have a budget for social media, and 58.1% plan their spendings for SMM activities.
On the other hand, IT companies are more attentive in dedicating human resources to social media marketing: 62.5% of all companies have at least 1 or more employees dedicated to their social media presence, and the other 31.3% of all IT companies own a social media marketing department.
