Social media allows us to identify who our client’s consumer base is, and listening to them allows us to understand what marketing is resonating with that audience segment.

IDENTIFY

Because social provides insights into what drives and motivates users, we use that information to create a unique, personalized, and optimized website experience for users.

THE PROBLEM OF QUALITY

RED-YELLOW-GREENSentiment – positive, negative, neutral – is often an inaccurate reporting mechanism and usually very basic. Social sentiment often requires further break down and analysis to get an accurate sentiment reading.

Analysis demands human involvement to get accurate results specific to your industry.

Teaching to the Test

The social science principle of Campbell's law is sometimes used to point out the negative consequences of high-stakes testing in U.S. classrooms:

"The more any quantitative social indicator (or even some qualitative indicator) is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor.”

When do social marketing metrics create the wrong incentives? How is this best avoided?

THE PROBLEM OF DISPARATE SYSTEMS

INTEGRATION

Social media monitoring platforms fail to integrate with key backend systems creating a disconnect between data transfer and share. Because there is no fluid integration, we are missing pieces of the puzzle.

BENCHMARKINGChallenge of assessing successful social media engagement or campaign when social data is not integrated with other sales, marketing, and advertising data and metrics.

Difficulty of comparing year-to-year due to the growth of social media volume overall and because of the incremental introduction of new channels.

THE FUTURE: HOLISTIC VIEW

• Analyze across channels• Integrate social media data with sales and marketing data and databases

INCORPORATIONThere is a huge opportunity to incorporate social analytics data into a datacube (CXM/CMS/CRM/ERP/etc.) to allow businesses and organizations to have one view of the customer.

WHAT DO WE SEEK TO INTEGRATE?

Social Channels, Website, CRM, Sales, Paid Media, and/or Customer Service
