Measuring Social Media 2011 combines an Ask the Experts
Clinic - a panel session that explores
the current metrics landscape with valuable insight what's around the
corner, plus lunch and a spot of
networking at The Guardian's offices in King's
Cross. Market Sentinel will also be offering, by appointment
only, one-on-one time with their leading social
media measurement experts.
In 2008 when we held our first discussion on Measuring Social
Media, the first generation of social networks and their
exploding userbase provided more than a handful of
challenges when it came to measurement. Fast-forward three years
and the metrics landscape has changed beyond recognition. Not
only has Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and hundreds of other social
platforms become part of our everyday lives, but so have the tools
available to analyse and measure their impact.
This session looks to answer the key questions in measurement and
monitor of social media including:
-
What
are the practical measurement issues facing brands monitoring
social media?
-
How
can one evaluate the different language of the general web
(message boards and blogs) as against Facebook and Twitter.
What works best where?
-
How
are brands like Bushmills, Cadbury and Carphone Warehouse
using social media to forecast consumer behaviour and evaluate
the benefits of marketing and business initiatives?
-
Why
are people shunning search engines and using LinkedIn, Twitter
or Quora to get information? What does it mean for brand owners?

12.45 – 2.00 Panel Session and case
studies - This session brings together the
leading experts in measuring social media to look at the current
best practices in social media metrics combined with an insight
into what the future might hold. Looking at practical issues of
how best to measure ROI, reach vs influence, what constitutes
campaign success, forecasting social media impact and how best to
tackle the myriad of options for monitoring both
user's interactions and conversations.
The panel will also share their insight into how the the emerging
technologies of semantic analysis, sentiment analysis and
behavioural targeting can provide deeper audience insight. This
new world opens up a range of possibilities for pre- and post-campaign
analysis. It's now possible to measure the impact of campaigns
and customer conversations on social media directly, and the
impact of digital and traditional marketing across social networks.
