9. iStrategy Zombie Data workshop
Objective of next 30 minutes is to explore some big data about the social
media impact of M&S 2012 Christmas advert
This is big data: 10,000+ data points in 3 weeks with lots of associated
data (location of sender, time of day, language used, response/retweets,
etc)
Imagine you are a Marketing Executive in M&S and you are trying to
assess whether the TV campaign is working, what to tweak/change and
what lessons to learn
Objective is not to judge M&S Xmas campaign. (They are not a client and
all data is available publicly - although you’d need to a tool like
Brandwatch to collect and make sense of it)
