Graeme Lawrence gave a presentation on listening to social media brand noise and the importance of strategy. The presentation took place from 10:22am to 10:46am in London as part of Session 1. Lawrence discussed analyzing both brand and consumer generated social media content, but noted that listening is only half the story and primary research is still needed to understand engagement, attitudes, and the impact on a brand. He provided an example of using a word cloud to analyze consumer comments and emphasized that both listening and surveys and still important for brands to understand their social media presence.
