Companies that Measure Social Media, Influence, and Brand

150 Responses to “Companies that Measure Social Media, Influence, and Brand”

Hello Jeremiah,
Thanks for your views which I tend to share. I find Forrester’s term, Brand Monitoring, also unsatisfying. As your post alludes to, I think that we should be calling this industry ‘Social Media Measurement’.
Two more companies for your list are market sentinel and Onalytica based in the UK.
Andreas



Posted by Andreas Cohen on November 25th, 2006 at 3:19 pm

Thanks Andreas, I’ve added both Market Sentinel and Onalytica to the list.

I would also be interested in measuring (and modeling) how messages propogate from one medium to another.



Posted by Dennis D. McDonald on November 26th, 2006 at 9:46 am

Ah, interesting Dennis.
Not just “word of mouth” but how do these messages, conversations, memes, get moved from a blog to a podcast to a video.
That’s going to be difficult to track until we can easily ’scrape’ audio into text dynamically. (I hear some folks are working on this)

By the way, Biz 360 was the first group to reach out to me because of this post. (although I’m in frequent communications with Factiva)

Jeremiah, glad to see you continue to spend time in this space. We’re seeing plenty of interesting developments.
Andreas, the scope of Peter Kim’s Forrester report was a bit different, as it included traditional media as well as social media.
Dennis, Yes, the interplay between different media types can be very compelling. See
http://marketiq.biz360.com/category/case-studies/ for a few recent examples that we have tracked.

Hi, We do this too, for US and European companies. Attentio is the company name, we have HQ in Brussels.



Posted by Simon on November 27th, 2006 at 6:32 am

Factiva is measuring social media along with traditional media, as Jeremiah states, and we’re actively looking at ways to approach the kind of things mentioned at the beginning of this post. However, I have to say, achieving those “baseline” requirements is likely to be a challenge for the strongest among us: *everything monitored in an affordable way in real-time*.
I’m looking forward to discussing just this at our Social Media Roundtable next week.



Posted by Glenn Fannick on November 27th, 2006 at 8:37 am

Jeremiah, thanks for the link. Funny how we seem to be working in parallel. I started looking at social media marketing companies outside the US before taking the long weekend. That’ll teach me to stop working on holidays!
Two more for your list: Scanblog (France) and CIC Data (China).

I added those as soon as I saw your trackback. thanks.
Also the Technorati and Edelman one, for what it’s worth.



Posted by jeremiah_owyang on November 27th, 2006 at 5:15 pm

A couple of observations about the current list: Listing both BrandIntel and Brandimensions is redundant. Whether you list the parent or the operating company, one should go. Also, Politibuzz is Scanblog’s blog, not the company name.



Posted by Nathan Gilliatt on November 28th, 2006 at 9:03 am

I’ve made some changes although I can’t find the Scanblog website.



Posted by jeremiah_owyang on November 28th, 2006 at 8:31 pm

Scanblog.com redirects to their main blog. There’s not much of a company site, just an About page and brochure (PDF).
In a separate conversation this morning, I was directed to Integrasco (Norway), which should go on the list.

Posted by Web Strategy by Jeremiah » List of Companies that Measure Social Media still shaping up (your input needed) on November 30th, 2006 at 5:29 am

Jeremiah: I am so glad you are gathering this list. It is on the minds of every CMO i talk to when we go out and educate them about podcasting, blogging etc. PodTech has been hearing about the need for metrics for social media for more than a year and have been on this crusade to talk to metrics companies for many months. Many of them are on my podcast Marketing Voices–as you point out re:brandimensions but also I interviewed biz 360, and nielsen/buzzmetrics. I am talking to Peter Blackshaw of Buzzmetrics today for next week’s marketing voices (www.podtech.net) to hear the latest about metrics from them.



Posted by Jennifer Jones on November 30th, 2006 at 7:33 am

One aspect of measurement that you might want to discuss is the concept of “Sentiment” and how it’s measured. Some companies offering media metrics–whether social or traditional media–offer a measure of sentiment purporting to show the degree to which the dialog you are tracking is positive or negative in tone. But the way sentiment is measured differs from company to company. Some use natural language algorithms to track positive and negative words used in the vicinity of the keyword being tracked, and come up with a score. Others use human technicians to scan content and provide a score. Some companies totally eschew the concept of measuring sentiment as too subjective to have more than surface value–and potentially misleading. The metrics are certainly interesting to look at, but you do have to think critically about how sentiment is scored, and how much stock you put in the result.



Posted by Chris Kenton on November 30th, 2006 at 7:24 pm

Chris
Check out opinmind.com (listed above) they do just that. I’ve had meetings with CEO James Kim and report here:
http://tinyurl.com/fmcwg
In summary, it’s very difficult to do accuratly, the term “bush sucks” can be used in different manners and sarcasm is not registered well.
Try also doing searches for “X sucks” or “X Fucking Cool”
Those tend to yield interesting results of sentiment (but not always)

Posted by Web Strategy by Jeremiah » Out of the Page View Ashes will rise a Social Media Measurement on December 1st, 2006 at 9:06 pm

Hmm… I didn’t hear anyone actually look into the web metric back from Web 1.0 build to track e-commerce sites like shopping cart and shopping experience.
And I didn’t hear anyone mention the Web 1.0 web metric tracking on user behavior, active user, usage, etc.
Some web metrics are industry standard. Many of web metrics are developed in-house to customize for companies to further data-mind data for business intelligence.
Technically it is possible to track no. and type of download like photo, download files, audio files, video files etc. It should be possible to track no. of RSS.
To track the audio and video consumption rate, engineers must come up with creative solution to detect the “quit” point. OR audio and video makers should get involved in implementing some tags to signal the “quit” point. To formalize the description of “quit” point, “Abandon point” is a better term to use. Of course, with the “abandon point”, we can measure the conversion, consumption rate (range from 0% to 100%, complete consumption of audio or video files).
At which point the user abandon the audio and video? First 10-30 sec? It could be related to browser issues, loading time, or advertisement that force user to watch or listen.
With good measurement, community will have a better understanding on the most popular length of audio and video based on content type, category type and audience type. We can start buidling a Matrix of the optimal usage of each type of media consumption.
Why metric companies aren’t responsing fast enought with Web 2.0. They are still playing catch up like Microsoft. Unless VC start funding Web 2.0 startups to create these SM tools, these tracking will have to be developed in-house like back in Web 1.0.
Great. Finally Web 2.0 recognize the importance of business intelligence and data mining. Web Analytics is not going away
The first wave of hiring is always on Developers. Then usability and analytics. I see the cycle happening again.

I took a quick look at your site, isn’t this more of a great example of user based product ratings more than a reporting type of feature?
I agree this is one way to capture knowledge, but i’m not sure companies would ONLY buy crowdstorm to learn about their brand online.

Here’s another service that tracks both traditional and “fan-generated media” specifically in the sports, entertainment and lifestyle segments. Our service- Buzz Manager tracks and differentiates between traditional media and what we call fan-generated media for the likes of ESPN, the NBA, NCAA Football, Peyton Manning etc. Sports has even more nuance that the usual suspects and that’s our specialty. Whether a corporate sponsor that’s spent tens olf millions on co-branding with a sports property or a league, college athletic department, they’re typically just beginning to understand the potential impact of online word of mouth and how the tracking and measuring can provide valuable input for decision making from marketing promotions to PR and Reputation Management. I still get the argument: “Why should we listen to the fans. They don’t know what they’re talking about! or there’s just the same 10 or 12 fans in that forum so it’s not representative of much.” They often haven’t recognized that the “influentials” of old are not today’s brand influentials.

This is what happens when Newsgator goes down and you have to send your laptop into the shop — I finally catch up on a bunch of stuff I clearly missed. First of all, Jeremiah, thanks for this list, I’ll post a link to it to the resources page on our web site. Secondly, let the buyer beware: A key element in measuring blogs is reading the comments, and most of the services listed do not do that because there is no way to automate it. We started a whole CGM measurement team that does just that. The requirement were so totally different from traditional media, and it takes a completely different mentality to sort out tonality and sentiment in CGM so we recruited adn trained a special team for it. As a result, more and more of our clients are now adding CGM measurement to their programs. The biggest confusion is between people wanting to measure their reputation in the blogosphere and “measuring blogs” as in whats the ROI of our corporate blog. All discussion of measurement has to start with a clarification of that issue.

Thanks for hosting this discussion. I definetly think this is a key component to a social media strategy. We concluded two pilot projects last year, with mixed results.
One thing I’ve noticed is that the vendors usually position their products based on fear, eg, use of their products as an early warning system. I think it’s equally important to use to find opportunities, particularly brand advocates (eg, consider the Coke/Mentos vid on YouTube). In the age of consumer-driven and selected marketing, brands need to connect with and leverage their fans.

Many of these are familiar but here’s one more wthat’s been investigating social media intelligence for 5 years and helping companies understand it for 3 years- Judo Socialware (www.asomo.net). We’re totally focused on consumer-generated media or what is becoming known as web 2.0 customer intelligence. However, a few of our clients also use the service for online media intelligence. Our service can move beyond marketing applications, providing intelligence for PR/communications, product/service development, customer relations, competitor intelligence and even stakeholder relations. Our flexible maps allow all these departments and / or territories to access the quant / qual data relevant to them. Not one report fits all! In terms of influence, forums have the furthest reach for many of our clients. This seems to differ from the blog/pod -obsession I often read about .Okay pitch over.

They use a tool called Precis:cubed which uses natural language processing to extract meaningful content. This data is then integrated into Millward Brown’s full offering - so it’s not just one aspect of social media, it’s the full circle.

I don’t see any details that http://www.lexalytics.com is measuring social media. Do you see that in the product offering? I only spend a few minutes glancing through each site. Let me know
Dave (below the other one)
I checked out Precis:cubed PDF, and I don’t see any direct indicators that they’re measuring social media too, here’s a quote from their PDF:

allows companies to monitor global Internet
news content. Our leading-edge service
provides real-time access to news from
approximately 5,000 reputable online news
sources, and generates automatic email

5000 sources? That’s nothing, the blogging count according to Techonrati is 80 million, not including social sites, sounds more like ‘big head’ than ‘long tail’.

Is anyone else using BuzzNumbers? Hows does it compare?

Hi Jeremiah,
Only just clicked through to this from your more recent Social Media FAQ on measuring ROI.
This is a great list - I’d just like to point out that my employer, Converseon, should probably be included as well.
We’re featured in Nathan Gilliat’s ‘Guide to Social Media Analysis’ and are well recongnized within this space for our Conversation Mining and social media strategy services.
I know I’m coming in late on this list (in fact, you wrote this before I worked at Converseon), but if you’re ever doing an update it would be great if you could include us.

SMO should be a continuous process



Posted by concord on April 11th, 2008 at 5:06 am

this is a very valid discussion.
it seems that a fully integrated agency approach is needed. PR + digital + media + reputation. even experiential could be considered.
surely we need an algorithm that takes into account as many and all of the above.
my check list:-
Quality of endorsement
Interactions of endorsement
Reach of endorsement
Value of endorsement
Quality of message
Brand impact/NPS
Impact on natural search
Increased web traffic directly to the site
Offline conversations generated
Conversions to sales and database

Currently I am reviewing several tools to monitor social media venues and other communities, and traditional online media and web sites. The one that we are looking at that seems to missing from your list is Andiamo. Their current product is geared more towards brand monitoring but they have a PR/agency solution in the works. We are working with their team on a demo account to adapt the current brand monitoring tool to monitor topics, not just brand buzz.

Posted by Anthony Power on May 20th, 2008 at 2:36 pm

Jeremiah,
Here are some of my thoughts.
You can measure a social media campaign only after you determine the objective for the social media campaign. Influence and interaction and results are the ways in which a social media campaign can be measured. Each has quantitative and qualitative elements. Below are my initial thoughts on this subject. Please bear in mind that there are probably more to add to each category. (Help, advice, and collaboration is appreciated)
INFLUENCE
Quantitative - 1. the number of people in the network 2. the number of networks/social communities/platforms 3. the growth rate of your network
Qualitative - 1. who is in the network? 2. what is the motivation for people joining the network? 3. what ideas are discussed in the networks
INTERACTION
Quantitative - 1. the number of communication methods within a platform 2. the number of scheduled tasks(eg. messages, replies, comments, bulletins, blogs, etc)
Qualitative - 1. the types of communication being sent out 2. who are you targeting with a particular message?
RESULTS
Quantitative - 1. number of leads generated
2. number of sales generated 3. number of new contacts made 4. revenue generated
Qualitative - 1. types of leads generated
2. types of contacts made
If you are interested, I welcome your participation on inSocialMedia.com
Respectfully,
Nelson Bruton

We’re working on several social media measurement projects, most notably with Sun Microsystems. We see the issue as having several components:
1) Finding a subset of employees who use the system, isolating out a concrete metric, and looking for statistical connections between usage and that metric. (E.g., for sales people, does their web 2.0 usage correlate with sales?)
2) Isolating savings over traditional methods. (How much does it cost to translate content into Japanese, as opposed to letting it happen?)
3) Looking at usage patterns and extrapolating (do people people peak and decline in usage, or is there steady growth? How does popularity of a piece of content correlate with rating?)
It’s a tough topic for measurement, and if anybody else out there is doing work in it, I’d love a dialog.
