Social Media Intelligence

What is social media intelligence?

Social media intelligence, which builds on the concepts of social listening and social media reporting, is the ability of an organisation to look at social media data, draw conclusions from it, and turn that data into actionable insights. Based on these insights, companies can then make more informed, intelligent business decisions.

Social media intelligence encompasses tools and software that enable companies to proactively monitor social channels and conversations for information, and to analyse and synthesise this data in a meaningful way.

Social listening and analysis tools enable organisations to:

  • assess conversations about their brand, competitors or products
  • identify influencers and engagement levels
  • evaluate the success of particular social media campaigns
  • gauge image use and logo placement across social media platforms
  • track virality of hashtags or social posts across platforms

Why is social media intelligence important?

With real-time social media monitoring, you never have to miss a conversation about your brand, products or competitors. You can identify patterns, follow trends, assess performance gaps and even track return on investment of your campaigns.

Effective social media reporting allows you to measure the success of social media campaigns, highlight successes and areas worthy of attention, and share insights quickly and easily across your organisation with those that matter most.

An invaluable tool in today’s increasingly digital and data-driven landscape, social media intelligence empowers you to maximise the true potential of your social media data by delivering genuine, real-time insights.
