2. The Crimson Hexagon ForSight™ platform uses proprietary, patented, example-based, statistical classification to
quantify the social media conversation in near real-time in most languages. It combines human judgment and
computer automation to identify key themes, topics, and opinions on any given topic within the social media
universe.
Crimson Hexagon measures, quantifies and tracks any topics or opinions that are being expressed online.
Because our underlying technology is set up to replicate and amplify how a human analyzes the conversation,
any online opinion or topic that can be identified and understood by human judgment, can be quantified by our
platform. Therefore, any business question which is discussed online, can be tracked and measured by Crimson
Hexagon.
Creating monitors within the Crimson Hexagon ForSight™ platform is a highly customizable, yet efficient process.
The overall structure of the analysis is entirely user-defined, guided by the business question at hand. Users can
set up a Topics of Discussion, Basic Sentiment, Drivers of Sentiment, or Customer Segmentation monitor by
adding new categories, grouping categories together, and changing category labels. The platform gives users
the ability to export visual results, such as graphs, charts, topic wheel, sample posts, etc. as an image or into
excel.

Volume 2.16.13 – 3.3.13, #IWILL Commercial
The volume of conversation on Twitter and the Under Armour Facebook page when commercial
launched peaked at just over 2500 relevant posts on 2.17.13. The daily volume trend decreased shortly
after, with less than 150 relevant posts per day. Relevant volume from 2.16.13 – 3.3.13 totals 4,546

5. DRIVERS OF SENTIMENT ANALYSIS
#IWILL COMMERCIAL
Sentiment towards the commercial was overwhelmingly positive, driven by comments about how “sick”
and “awesome” it is. Consumers also described the commercial as “mind-blowing” and were
fascinated by the color changing clothes. The athletes picked to be in the commercial were also a
driver of positive conversation.
There was a lack of conversation about the Armour39 that was featured in the commercial. It seemed
that most consumers focused on the “high-tech apparel”. This was successful in getting consumers to
relate UA to innovation, however some consumers expressed confusion.

Nike gets rated the #1 most
innovative company so Under
Armour has to do a commercial
about a product they haven’t
even invented yet!?!?
Is Under Armour trying to sell
ideas? They didn't show one
product in that whole
commercial.
