The same study shows that Romanian users are actively involved in generating online reactions on companies and brands, through ratings, reviews, support or boycott groups. On this direction.

The relation with a brand in online includes manifestation of consumers’ critical voices directly on companies social media pages. Among Europeans that do so, the 1st place is assumed by Turks (78%), followed by Romanians  (75%) and Finns (63%)

Companies’ presence in social media is important both for increasing reputation and influence, but also for direct public’s direct involvement in their activity. Brands cannot ignore online’s importance as part of the general impact they have over consumers
