The Big Social Experiment
• Many companies are stumbling blindly into social media marketing without a measurement strategy in place
9
10
The Numbers are Telling…
• “While 2009 may have been a “trial” run for many brands and social media, in 2010, CMOs expect social initiatives to directly impact their bottom lines, without exception.”
• “CMOs reported that 64% of them would increase their social media budgets within the next year.”
• In 2009, 89% of CMOs tracked social media's impact by using standard metrics such as site traffic, pageviews, and number of fans. Source: BazaarVoice “CMOs Plan for Higher Social Media Measurability in
2010” December 8, 2009

• Existing vendors shine at listening, sentiment and trending conversations
• Technologies can facilitate data collection in diverse social media, but there are no silver bullets

Specific Channels Are Secondary to Strategy

objectives
