Case Study: AVG Antivirus AVG wins “Most Social Business of 2012”“The judges felt that AVG was most deserving of this award for a number of reasons – the main one being their holistic, comprehensive approach to social.

AVG truly is a company that had made social work for them and positively impact the way they do business.” – Nick Johnson, Useful Social Media
