You can’t do social marketing well if you aren’t nailing social listening. If you’re crafting and executing a social strategy in a vacuum, your results will probably be equally hollow. The thing is, consumers are on social right now, talking about your brand or talking about issues that are important for developing and selling your products or services. Are you listening to them? Are you listening across platforms? Are you gathering your results from all areas of social? Are you taking that data and and using it to re-formulate your marketing approach? If it sounds like a lot, it’s because it is. But it’s not impossible with the right know-how.
Join us as our panel discusses:
How to know what to listen to and when;
Strategies for integrating social listening into your marketing approach
Ways to aggregate listening across platforms
How to turn listening data into actionable insights for your business plan

Takeaways
• Research is king
– brand, competitor, category, industry
• Listen with a purpose
– What are you listening for? How do you know if you heard it?
• Get other functions involved
– Everything has to be sold at some point.
• Optimize to win – know what winning is
• Pay social listening the proper respect
Social media is a more important long-term marketing
platform than television, pay attention and invest
accordingly.
