Methodology - Three Phases of Social Intelligence
1.
Social conversations take place in
myriad channels. It‟s not just about
grabbing Twitter feeds, but the
triangulation of all possible sources
from Facebook, to surveys and
reviews, to industry association
communities, and blogs.
Listening - Collecting the right data

Super Bowl

• Collected

related to the
Super Bowl and

• Searched for
results related to
the topic, not the
Brands
• Collected 433,531
conversations

from 2010)
• Human analysis to
remove „bad‟
results and

first step in building value. A real point of
differentiation is the ability to convert that
into actionable insights. Semantical

multi-channel data.

The last phase is to turn those standard metrics
into insights that marketers can use. The best
insights are not useful if it is not understandable
in the right hands. A key ingredient to making
social intelligence impactful on marketers is the
isolation and elevation of key points. UNDERSTAND
Aggregate Reach • TV Viewership for the
2011 Super Bowl was
estimated at 111
Million Viewers in the
US
• Conversations about
Chrysler had the
furthest Social Reach
of 116 Million
• The Average
advertiser had a
potential Reach of
20.5 Million
Social Reach shows us that Social Media is large and
important channel. Marketers that can effectively
leverage Social Media can significantly expand the
audience.

Pregame SSEI
Pregame SSEI shows a
similar pattern – the
top 5 all have a
significant investment
in Social Media.
Indicates a net positive
sentiment for those
brands that leveraged
social media pregame.
Gameday SSEI
VW and Chrysler were
most liked on Gameday.
Both had ads that
compelled viewers. VW
leveraged social media,
Chrysler did not.
Groupon saw the
downside of a large
reach, the reaction to
their ad was mostly
negative.
Only 2 brands had more
negative than positive
comments on Gameday
Postgame SSEI
The conversation
turned negative
after the game. 10
brands had more
negative than
positive
conversations.
2 Brands
dominated the
positive
conversations: VW
and Chrysler
Which Brands Extended the Conversation?
VW leveraged Social Media and
had compelling creative. VW
had greater than average reach
and sentiment before, during
and after the Super Bowl.
Groupon – Ad turns negative
Groupon did not leverage Social
Media before the game. The
Groupon ad garnered mostly
negative comments. Could
Groupon have mitigated this with
a pregame Social strategy?
Best Buy – What‟s a Bieber
Best Buy – The Justin Bieber
announcement caused a spike in
conversations. But over time the
impact lessened. How could
they have extended the
conversation?
