No one can argue that social media platforms such as Facebook are mind-bogglingly popular. That is why automakers such as Chevrolet are determined to get in on the consumer-populated action. Now, a statement like this may cause some to roll their eyes. Social media users aren't always pumped about infiltrating ads. Southworth Chevrolet understands this and so does Chevy.
