"We have found that every day, many of our key audiences ¬– customers, prospects, suppliers, Team Members, industry influencers - from across the marketplace discuss, support and embrace Unisource and its brands in conversations that are taking place online," said Ed Farley, Senior Vice President of Marketing & Corporate Communications for Unisource.  "As an industry leader, we recognize the importance of participating in these conversations to ensure that our company has an online presence, and even more importantly, we are listening to what is important to our customers, suppliers and other industry leaders," said Farley.
