I can't understand the usage of "still is today" here.

Recently, I read an article "Nick Jonas' Lesson for Other Teen Musicians" from the url "http://learningenglish.voanews.com/content/young-musicians-get-a-lesson-from-nick-jonas-126292998/113850.html". I found a sentence :
Social media was incredibly important for my brothers and I at the beginning of our career and still is today.
I find it difficult to understand the meaning of "still is today". Who can explain this sentence for me?

Social media was incredibly important for them at the beginning of their career. Social media is still incredibly important for them today. "still" is an adverb; it emphasises that the situation has not changed.
