I like it. It’s simple, concise, and accurately encompasses what we do.
Interesting stats here. Not overly surprising - social media has really become the domain of PR/marketing types rather than college recruiters. Still, you’d think that by now the usage would be higher.

Shazam Gives Out Recipes By Recognizing Pillsbury Ads -
This is a really great idea for a number of reasons: harnessing relatively common technology, using things already found in a commercial (sounds), giving customers free, extra content (recipes). It also shows that Pillsbury has a strategy behind its social efforts, which is not common enough.
