12. Brand Awareness and Klout
What Is Klout? Klout attempts to measure
your online clout--that is, your ability to
influence people on the Internet. Using data
aggregated from social networks, Klout
determines how good you are at persuading
other people to act. "Klout defines influence
as the ability to drive action, we analyze a
number of social media engagement
variables to measure influence, including
Twitter retweets and mentions, Facebook
comments and likes, LinkedIn comments and
likes, Foursquare tips and to-do's, and
Google+ comments and reshares."
Klout's website notes that a Klout score takes
three major factors into account: True Reach
(how many people you actually influence),
Amplification (how much you influence those
people), and Network (how influential your
network is).

Editor's Notes
If the brand promise is not fulfilled, then any marketing effort to promote the brand will fail. Your promise must match the experience. How do you do this? By discovering your brand promise or value proposition (for products).
