Take-aways
Measuring social media activity shouldn’t
be about the tools; social technologies
are tools to better help you achieve your
objectives.
It’s easy to get lost in the increasing
number of stats available, but focus on
why you’re using them and generating
insight you can act on.

Take-aways
The objectives and metrics used will
need to be scrutinised, amended and
added to over time.
Keeping a monthly log should be enough,
otherwise it becomes too time consuming.
Before campaigns/events create
benchmark reports and evaluate change
after to judge the impact the activity had.

A story about TV
Back in the days of three
channels, telly was communal.
We all watched the same thing -
& talked about it the next day.
Programmes were events.
