Hype Cycle for Digital Marketing, 2014
You are Here
How does your organization currently handle the measurement and analysis of your social marketing?
1. We don’t – we are anti-social (marketing)
2. We pull numbers from Facebook and Twitter, etc. but don’t link them to business goals
3. We use a social listening platform and try to estimate social’s impact on the business
4. We have internal social analysts who nail it
5. We outsource most of this to our agency

Observations
Social sentiment varies widely day to day – spikes and drops are short-lived
Daily sentimented post volumes average
AVG (Total – incl. Neutral) = 336
AVG (Negative) = 102
AVG (Positive) = 32
AVG (Mixed) = 7
Over time, negative sentiment is growing, whereas positive is declining
The variability of negative posts is significantly higher than that of positive:
STDEV (negative)= 55
STDEV (positive)= 13
STDEV (mixed) = 5
When post volume is low, the sentiment is more equally distributed between
positive and negative; whereas, when volumes peak, negative sentiment
dominates – people talk more out of frustration

There are only 8 human emotions
John Kearon, “Let’s Get Emotional About Advertising” 10/11 (presented at Jay Chiat Planning Conference NYC Oct. 2011)
Emotion correlates with market share gain
A well-known analytics firm showed a clear correlation between
emotion and brand power in marketing messages
Fun Fact #4: Emotion itself is more important than whether the sentiment is positive or negative

content

measure?
• Correlates with English-
language market share

How to build a basic measurement plan & dashboard
Consider these ways to advance your measurement strategy, to
improve marketing campaigns and programs:
What’s the state of social analytics today?
Three brands who are doing it right – right now
• Caesers Entertainment uses
social marketing to: • Supports multichannel marketing
campaigns
• Drive ticket sales to concerts and
other local events
• Expand the size and depth of its
customer database
• Systems integration and tracking
across multiple touch points were
critical to measuring the impact of
social on business results
39
Caesars Entertainment connects social marketing to business outcomes
• Financial services companies
connect reps to clients on social
networks and use social listening
to find social signals, like major
life events, leading to business
development opportunities
• Financial services reps use social
networking sites to expand their
network and connect contacts in
CRM systems to expand their
customer database and track
potential sales leads
40
Financial firms boost sales productivity and lead generation with social signals
ALS Association uses social analytics to raise awareness (millions of dollars in donations)
• ALS used social listening to identify
a trend that they could use to drive
awareness and fundraising
• They succeeded by connecting the
campaign to commerce, letting
people donate across channels
• ALS merchandised this success
internally and externally by tracking
donations
• They also used landing pages to
gather valuable customer data for
future fundraising efforts
Which of these best describes the primary business goal of your social marketing program?
1. Building awareness and/or consideration
2. Managing or improving brand reputation
3. Generating leads or driving referral traffic
4. Driving online or offline sales conversion
5. Improving retention, loyalty and/or advocacy
Poll Question #3
Where to go from here
Determine if your current social analytics are serving the business?
Are you clear what your goals are? Revenues, cost reduction, risk?
Are you making any of the false assumptions discussed in the “fun facts”
section – e.g., leaning on “share of voice” without adjustments?
Ask: Do your metrics help you assess and improve your activities?
Are they helping you understand your customers better?
Consider the role of dashboards and social listening tools? Do you
understand how they can (and can’t) help? How they’re different?
