Understanding Your Audience and
Developing Relevant Content
57
58
• Curate based on:
– Demographic / psychographic profile
– Mindsets/Personas
– Influence, Klout
– Purchase Funnel
– Key Stakeholders (investors, employees, partners)
• Focus groups for product lines – Consumer, B2B, specific
lines
– Focus groups for audiences – investors, moms,
students
– Focus groups for PR/AR/IR – high-reach pubs, key
commentators
• Examine Key Groups in aggregate
• Create and amplify relevant content
Understanding your target audience
(digital ethnographies)

Case Study: Digital Ethnography on Moms
Moms’ technology use and opinions were driven by how it benefits her family
or makes her life easier.
• How were moms using technology? (entertainment vs. function)
• What apps were most popular and why?
• Intersection of parenting and technology
60
• Insights based on integrated data sets (e.g. traditional and
social media channels)
• Findings that connect the findings from multiple research
modalities
Tying multiple sources of data together to
understand the big picture
61
Case Study: Integrating Business Data
A brand’s offer enrollment data was analyzed in conjunction with
social discussion about each of the offers for a more
comprehensive view of the initiative.
• In most cases, buzz ranking aligned with enrollment ranking; cases where
that pattern did not persist may indicate that the audience enrolling for
certain types of offers were more or less active in social.
• Assessment of the types of offers that were most popular (i.e.
entertainment vs. technology).
• Did the merchants participate to help boost participation?
62
Using social to augment/align
with brand tracking data
Traditional survey-based trackers allow a consistent
framework to monitor brand health…
Positive
Neutral
Negative
Over a 20 week period
…while online listening provides a means to observe how
brands are being talked about in an unfiltered environment
When paired together, this ‘unfiltered’ consumer voice uncovers emerging issues not ‘asked’ about in survey
research, and can also serve as a diagnostic tool bringing in an additional layer of depth.
63
Case Study: Brand Health Tracking
Traditional survey data noted a lift in NPS, which social insights helped
explain.
• What topics are driving positive discussion for the brand? Are they related
to an event?
• Is the conversation organic? Or are consumers reposting content?
• Is there a related hashtag? Did it surface organically or is it tied to the
brand?

Case Study: An insurance company would like to understand how prospects and
customers discuss the purchase of long-term care insurance
Key Findings:
• Seeking/Exploring consumers were driven toward LTCi because of personal
experience with a loved one or by advice from an advisor. Planning
consumers were looking for more information and reached out to others on
forums for advice. When in the Shopping/Buying stage, consumers were
looking for reassurance that they were making a sound decision.
• Aside from personal experience with a family member, a life event such as a
marriage or the birth of a child triggered LTCi discussion. Advice from
financial planners also played a role.
• Some consumers who were early on their path to purchase were seeking
information about costs and advice about companies. As consumers moved
along in the process, some had specific questions about premiums and
coverage and turned to people who had already purchased to get answers.
• For some, LTCi seemed like a risky purchase if they wound up never
needing long-term care. For those who were in the early stages of
purchase, the intricacies of some policies were confusing.
