Understanding How to Use Social Insights PredictivelyUsing Social Media and Search To Unlock Insights Frank Cotignola Twitter: @fco24 www.frankcotignola.com
How to Understand Consumers Via1. Social Media Conversations2. Search Behavior3. Integration With Other Data
Why Is This An Issue? • According to past studies, most conversations (approximately 90%) don’t involve brands • If you are listening only for your brand, you are missing out on most of the richness and opportunity that social media listening provides
What Should We Be Doing? • Listen for conversations around brands (categories, times of day, etc.) • Then see where your brand fits into the conversation
The Many Benefits of Listening • Unedited conversations • Ability to trend • Huge sample sizes • Infinite number of topics • 24/7 opinions • Global reach Source: eMarketer http://goo.gl/EBguq
