Business As Usual


   Executives want to know
   what the business value
      of social media is

Misconceptions                             http://www.flowtown.com/blog/what-is-the-roi-of-your-mom



      of ROI
You may have heard…
 “Would you calculate the ROI of
 your mom or your pants?

 Then why would you calculate
 the ROI of social media?
 It’s obvious!”

• That’s funny
• But ROI is not obvious to everyone
• And your boss would like a number
             @drnatalie                @drnatalie
Misconceptions
   of ROI


“ROI is too difficult
     because
     I’m not
 a “math” person.”




                  @drnatalie
Misconceptions
           of ROI…
There’s a change in metrics!!
              • We have 500 more “Likes”
      • 10X click-thru rate on “Buy Now” button
  • $5M in annual support savings & sales advocacy
    • Viral videos increased company sales +700%
• Social microsites secured 1,000,000 fans and a 10%
              increase in same-store sales
                         E


            I have an ROI!!
                         e



      Note to self:
     Metrics are necessary…
      But they are not ROI

Real-world
Examples




             @drnatalie
Case Study:             @drnatalie

                      Major Insurer
  Advertising Effectiveness & Competitor Evaluation




Ran nat’l ad campaigns & wants to understand:
• Effectiveness of messages and
• Drivers of consumer purchase intent

                    Analyzed online conversations:
                    • Their brand
                    • Key competitor
Insurer Ad Effectiveness
• Insurer’s ad campaign is liked
• Didn’t generate conversation about
buying or switching insurers




                                        @drnatalie
Insurer Ad Effectiveness
                                       • Competitor ad campaign is more divisive
• Insurer’s ad campaign is liked
• Didn’t generate conversation about
buying or switching insurers




                                                                    @drnatalie
Insurer Ad Effectiveness
                                           • Competitor ad campaign is more divisive
• Insurer’s ad campaign is liked
• Didn’t generate conversation about
buying or switching insurers




                                       • But spurs a conversation trend related to
                                       purchasing
                                                                        @drnatalie
@drnatalie

   Conclusion of social media monitoring
• Both campaigns generate
healthy “buzz”
   • But positive sentiment doesn’t
    reflect intent to purchase
    • Using context avoids
    misinterpreting positive sentiment
    for a social buying gesture- intent
    to purchase

• Social media is the largest source of unfiltered information ever
  available about how consumers truly think and feel

• The vast majority of companies have yet to take advantage of
  this intelligence to influence their business decisions

However, most of today’s tools do a terrible job
of helping you achieve true Social Intelligence
MOST SOCIAL MEDIA MONITORING IS BROKEN

Keywords and semantics don’t work well in social media
•   Traditional tools lack the ability to understand context
•   A computer cannot replace human judgment
•   Human analysts cannot scale or provide consistency
•   Predefined rules cannot support the dynamic nature of the social media
    conversation
•   Surface-level monitoring lacks accuracy and deep insight

  2. Learning is the desire to discover new things – novelty. We are amazed by new things.

  4. But the amount of information – feels like an insurmountable blur
  5. It can be generally useless.
  6. Provide… MarketersBrand ManagersProduct ManagersConsumer Insights teams & Market Research professionals An understanding of the benefits of: Deep insights that social media monitoring and analysis provideShow how social media insight can be used to impact future outcomes, not just measure what’s already happened
  7. The real feat? Sorting it outPutting things into a contextTAKING THE CHAOS TO ORDER
  8. Why now? Is putting things into context so important?Most corporate initiatives require a business case and estimated ROI for approvalBut the impact of social media is one initiative that many business leaders are unsure how to quantify.Business leaders want toto substantiate the budget requests. In any new field, there is the drive from the innovators and early adopters.They are like kindling- they spark the fire SPARK THE FIRE

  17. Crimson Hexagon answers questions from government, non-profit and commercial leaders. We use a patent-pending software platform that we’re continuing to expand. It was built in 2007 at Harvard University’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science to call elections. Crimson Hexagon’s software understands the common elements of how people use language, any language, to express themselves with meaning in context; and, through our software, we’re able to raise meaningful answers to research questions that come from the top officers and C-Suite leaders in today’s profit and non-profit worlds. We’re the strategic advisors to the curious customers across the US and around the world.This week, Crimson Hexagon is answering questions like these: Which TV ad campaign provides the clearest value proposition for buying home, auto and property insurance? Which car makes and models have had significant marketing momentum before they hit the showroom and what impact will that have on sales? Which computers and smart-phones are going to carry the consumer electronics industry through the fall buying season? What’s going to happen to retail growth at Best Buy? Is Target going to enhance its brand or its P&L by selling Missoni at 60% off in its flash sales? How envious are northern Europeans of the quality of the Finnish school system? How much did the London and UK youth riots of last summer gather strength from unemployment? What are the nuanced readings of the Arab world around the bombing of the Israeli consulate in Egypt? What are rising global commodity food prices doing to stressed communities in Indonesia? Who has the best chance of winning the Republican Presidential primary? Or the General election next November?
  18. It makes sense in a world of up-to-the-minute headlines, endless TV and endless talk that the most demanding people are looking for their own global early warning system on what tomorrow’s news will be. We see this quest as the C-suite quest and in order to answer the higher order questions that it poses, Crimson Hexagon does three things: first, we analyze proprietary data—including customer and employee surveys, equity performance abstracts, TV and radio transcripts, any treasure trove of unstructured text that can be mined for relevance. Second, we analyze the social web; and, in that analysis, Twitter is becoming increasingly important as the place where more people reveal more opinions on a wider range of topics than anywhere else.Finally, we look for correlation between market data—such as stock market results, weather reports, global commodity prices; election results; retail sales results, Nielsen ratings, theatrical box office, online content usage and more—and proprietary and social data. We use unstructured text as the foundation of our work and then we compare it with the fresh, often live data from relevant numeric ratings systems that tell their own story. With both data sources under the same lens, we observe and report on how that story changes and grows.
  19. We look at 250 million tweets every day and 1.75 billion tweets per week. The mountain of tweets grows at a massive rate.Theycome out of brand-and-issue-related conversations and often contain critical messages that can help make your customers your followers, your evangelists and your investors.Crimson Hexagon makes sense out of terrabytes of social web data in every language. We do it by working closely with government and business leaders to organize our research around the 5-10 most important questions of the day—your day, any day. And we build a wide knowledge base on what’s drivingopinion far beyond positive or negative sentiment alone.
  20. We begin with a value proposition that global leaders can count on.Intelligent: Our algorithm is unparalleled in its ability to read the context and nuance of social media conversations.Precise: Our algorithm is accurate to within +/-3%. Other NLP systems in the marketplace cannot keep up.Unbiased: Our analysis has no influence on the outcome, because we are watching the social conversation unobserved. Immediate: Our platform efficiently destroys and then reformulates huge tranches of data at a rate well-paced with the exploding online conversation.Global: Our language-agnostic analysis allows us to serve international clients on any scale.
  21. Here’s a look at nearly 210,000 consumer opinions from Twitter related to Netflix and its recently announced change in its pricing plans. It’s not surprising that 65% tweeting about Netflix reacted negatively to the change. What is surprising is that 14% of customers expressed the following opinion: “Goodbye Netflix, Hello Redbox”. If you were Redbox, what would you do with this information? How about Hulu? Could this change your plans if you’re Hulu?

  24. Here’s a small cross section of the Crimson Hexagon client base. We have a very strong media business, online and onTV, and a growing consumer products, manufacturing and consumer services base. We do great work for the retail banking industry and for financial services companies. We are also a favorite with governments and institutions in the education and public affairs sector. Some of our largest and most vibrant clients and partners are not on this list, preferring to dive into our work with a minimum of press coverage.
