Here’s the good news for all of you… “In 2009, more data was generated by individuals than in the entire history of mankind through 2008” Weigend, Former Chief Scientist Andreas Amazon.com@chuckhemann ON TWITTER http://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaystonebriggs/4642248445/ #SMCSEA

But this is also the bad news… “In 2009, more data was generated by individuals than in the entire history of mankind through 2008” Weigend, Former Chief Scientist Andreas Amazon.com@chuckhemann ON TWITTER http://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaystonebriggs/4642248445/ #SMCSEA

Three Biggest Questions Facing Social Analytics Practitioners  How do we turn a mountain of listening data into something actionable for an enterprise the size of some cities?  How do I build a robust (enough) measurement program to show value and please my boss?  Can influencer analysis be quantified, and can I do it without using Klout? Contents are proprietary and confidential.@chuckhemann ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Which of these approaches best describes you and yourbusiness? MONITORING LISTENING “What is most important to our “What did people say today?” consumers?” ANALYZING MEASURING “How should we go to market “How successfully am I in new / different ways?” meeting my objectives?” Contents are proprietary and confidential.@chuckhemann ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Listening (and data) are at the foundation of everything we do@chuckhemann ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

The way most organizations use listening data  Very linear process  Gather Data  Analyze  Develop insights  Plug-in to planning and strategy process  Develop the program  Measure Results  Cycle typically lasts several weeks to months depending on the complexity of the listening program@chuckhemann ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

The way most organizations SHOULD use listening data  Much more fluid process that lasts days to weeks instead of months  Listening data gets dispersed to multiple parts of the organization  Other channels (like traditional media) are taken into consideration  Listening data is used more in rapid content development to respond to community conversations@chuckhemann ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Where do we get started?@chuckhemann ON TWITTER http://www.flickr.com/photos/94379417@N00/4808475862/ #SMCSEA

Understanding what listening can do for the brand…• Ability to optimize content in real- time• Foster a better customer experience• Learn about potential product issues• Marketing through conversation• Gain business intelligence@chuckhemann ON TWITTER http://www.flickr.com/photos/27812617@N07/2624952169/sizes/m/in/photostream/ #SMCSEA

Framing your listening approach around the Five W’s • What are people saying about your brand • Where people are talking about your brand • When people are talking about your brand • Who is talking about your brand • Why people are talking about your brand@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Just a quick note on answering “Why” • Analytics platforms scratch the surface of analyzing why a “fan” or “follower” acts the way they do/don’t • Essential to answer this question from a planning and measurement standpoint • Surveys and focus groups aren’t dead@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Tools, Training, Reporting and Scope… • Has there been an internal decision made on a tool? • Do you have a training protocol in place? – Both tools and broader enterprise training • Have you outlined a regular reporting schedule? • Have you developed a competitive set? • Will you listen for the broader category?@chuckhemann ON TWITTER http://www.flickr.com/photos/basegreen/205733912/ #SMCSEA

Picking an enterprise listening tool THERE ARE OVER 225 VENDORS ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA MONITORING WIKI ALONE!!! Criteria you should be using to determine the right tool for your organization: • How many sites the tool capture overall • Workflow management • Ability to import and export information from the tool • Incorporating other data sources (web, search) • Cost NOTE: Don’t try to review every tool. Pick FIVE based on cursory research to review in greater detail@chuckhemann ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Putting together an effective training program • Take advantage of training programs offered by the vendor you’ve selected to do listening • Start with a core team of people within the company • PR/Marketing • Legal • Social media/digital marketing • CRM • Human Resources • Consumer insights • Spread training program to other parts of the organization gradually as interest in listening is expressed • Hands-on training as much as possible • Create incentives/requirements to complete training programs Contents are proprietary and confidential. http://www.flickr.com/photos/72416315@N03/6538084999/@chuckhemann ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Developing your response matrix@chuckhemann ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Do you need the physical command center space? … The answer to this question is, as usual, MAYBE@chuckhemann ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Or you can utilize a web-based application that is scalable Contents are proprietary and confidential.@chuckhemann ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Measuring Social MediaContents are proprietary and confidential.

Channeling our inner myth busters…• Social media cannot be measured• ROI stands for something other than return on investment• Social media measurement is different than traditional media measurement• Social media is meant to be organic and we already have too much data@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Most companies take a two-pronged approachMost companies take a two-pronged approach to measurement to measurement “Improve” “Prove” Provide inbound insights to inform Use data to track and report decisions and optimize programs metrics, KPIs, business value Real-Time Weekly Analysis Intelligence & Monthly Gathering Dashboards Are our messages getting through with visibility and scale? Are we shaping the content and conversation we want? Are we a part of the conversation when it counts? Are we fostering greater advocacy from influencers and consumers? Contents are proprietary and confidential.@chuckhemann ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Common measurement questions are important, but only one partof the puzzle COMMON MEASUREMENT QUESTIONS ANSWERS/GOALS Unique Monthly Visitors How many people did we reach? Like/follower counts Number of Social Media Impressions Share of Voice/Conversation Did the program create conversation? Rank posts by tonality How do I get ad equivalency so the brand Non-standard ad equiv or CPM model can compare this to our advertising? Were our fans/followers engaged? Engagement WHAT WE SHOULD BE ASKING MORE OFTEN Did the program drive results? Sales/Leads/Consumer Satisfaction@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Marketers are currently just feeding the beast… Top metrics: Two for reach/ exposure One for preference, One for action@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Landing on the right metrics SHOULD be a familiar process! • Understanding what your campaign goals and objectives are • Conducting benchmark research • Developing your strategy and tactics • Execution of your campaign • Measure and tweak@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Typical metrics across the big four social networks FACEBOOK TWITTER YOUTUBE FLICKR Comments Clicks (or CTR) Subscribers Total Photo Views Likes Retweets Total Video Total Photo Uploads Views Total Interactions Retweets/Post Views per Average view per Upload photo Total Clicks (or CTR) Tweet Reach Comments Number of comments Shares Retweet Reach Ratings Number of likes Impressions Average Reach Per Tweet Favorites Pageviews % of posts that are @ replies Overall Likes Number of lists Comment Sentiment Followers Demographics Sentiment …NOW BURN THIS SLIDE FROM YOUR MEMORY BANKS@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Surveys are still an integral part of the measurement/researchprocess • Minimum of 200 people in any given survey period • Exposed to messaging through social • Not exposed to social messaging • Identify how you’re going to survey people and on what frequency • Preferably every quarter using the same method so as to not confuse respondents • Offline research synergies whenever possible • Language and questions should be similar@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

How often you measure depends on your thirst for information • How dynamic is your content going to be? • How often are you going to be expected to report results? • Do you have the internal resources to handle regular reporting requirements? • What social platforms are you using to engage your audience?@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER http://www.flickr.com/photos/dum/518326142/sizes/l/in/photostream/ #SMCSEA

A different way to measure content performance@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Want more measurement examples? Contents are proprietary and confidential.@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

This all seems so straightforward, right? • Marketers are overwhelmed by the sheer amount of data available • Unclear on which metrics are actually laddering up to campaign goals • Lack of clarity on how often we should be measuring THE BIGGEST REASON…NO OBJECTIVE SETTING AT THE BEGINNING@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER http://www.flickr.com/photos/eddidit/391622578/ #SMCSEA

Defining and Measuring InfluenceContents are proprietary and confidential.

Several open questions related to online influence • Do brands even care about more rigor? • Is quantitative analysis more important than qualitative assessment? • What’s the ideal balance between automation and human intervention? • What are some metrics we can use to define influence?@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Lets say I’m building a list of gardening influencers… Michael Brito reaches a large audience online • 40,000+ followers on Twitter • On 2,127 Twitter lists • Almost 3,000 subscribers on britopian.com • Almost 500 photos on Flickr Does Michael ever write about gardening? NO@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Now what about my mother… My mom reaches a much smaller audience than Michael: • About 1,300 followers on Twitter • On 65+ lists • Has a small personal blog for gardening • Posts some photos on Flickr BUT! She’s hosted #GardenChat and tweets regularly on gardening@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

The answer to the question about quantitative vs. qualitative isboth… of course! Who is a bigger gardening influencer? The answer is clearly @SusanHemann. Sorry, Michael. Womp. Womp.@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Which is better? The human or the robot? BOTH! • Gather large amounts of data quickly and in one place • Serves as a starting point for list of influencers • Be a central repository for information about influencers • Gut check for manual research• Define data parameters/needs• Gather and assess a large amount of data coming from an automated solution• Judge who from a data set is truly influential for a given category@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA

Bringing this all together… • Lots of data points so define your date range – 12 months preferred • Ranking only matters so much in the final analysis • Think about a person’s online presence in it’s entirety • Relative weight of reach, relevance and syndication will vary by type of influencer analysis CRITICAL TO REMEMBER THIS IS JUST A SNAPSHOT IN TIME! IT CAN (AND WILL) CHANGE)@CHUCKHEMANN ON TWITTER #SMCSEA
