With the powering and energy sector constantly evolving and with the developments within the turbine and renewables energy sectors, subjects of interest concerning manufacturing and new ways to find new parts for old machinery, industry practice standards are popular subjects. In addition to this with countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia expanding their workforce into non-related oil manufacturing, global partners are beginning to recognize the power houses and move back into the region.

While hard numbers are great for thinking through the KPIs, they are most useful in their ability to help a client understand how they can adjust their communication behavior. What does the client most value? Reaching the widest audience possible (Reach/impressions)? Clickthrough or thought leadership (Engagement)? Finding new contacts beyond their existing followers (amplification)?
By knowing what your client’s goals are, and how they have done compared to other companies that are similarly positioned in terms of number of followers, you can help them be more successful in their social marketing.
How this is calculated:
Companies are divided into groups based on how many followers they have (0-100, 101-1000, 1001-100000, 100000+) . The company’s performance is then compared to other companies in the group and their percentile rank is calculated. A score of 50 means that 50% of companies in the group did worse than your client. For companies with a larger number of followers, keep in mind that they are being compared to some top companies!
Also note, the scores within the group are adjusted for the number of followers so that we can still compare the extreme ends of the group.
Reach = Percentile of (Uniques reached/number of followers) compared to companies with similar number of followers
Impressions = Percentile of (total impressions of updates/number of followers) compared to companies with similar number of followers
Engagement = Percentile of (Uniques clicking, sharing, liking, or commenting of company update/number of followers) compared to companies with similar number of followers
Amplification = Percentile of (Non-followers reached/number of followers) compared to companies with similar number of followers
All updates appear on the Company Page, including updates that are targeted to specific audiences
Updates stay on the page for 40 days or up to most recent 25, whichever comes first
