All About The Real Social Company

Thats right, it all started in 2002 when we started building websites and offering search engine optimization with our newly minted Google Search Professional credentials. We decided at that time we could make a difference in advertising, design and customer interaction. The first name of the company was Plaid7 and stayed that way until 2006 when new members joined the team and we expanded. Since then The Real Social Company has been working with select clients to help them reach their goals on web and social.
