Why should I care about Social Media Research

ldquoPeople are not necessarily talking about you or the things you need to know But if they are talking about you you need to know itrdquo

ldquoIf your customers are talking about you then there is no longer an excuse for not listeningrdquo

Ray Poynter (The Handbook of Online and Social Media Research)

Two-thirds of MR suppliers provide some SM monitoring or

analysis to clients GRIT Report Winter 2013

What it specifically entails could any of a number of services

Big Data has many definitions (Think NSA)

Collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process

Our lives leave a wake of information behind us which is becoming quantified -- Datafied

Mobile location

Transactions

Event timeline

Pictures

Phone records

Comments

Holy Grail of Big Data

To link different data sets together to create new learning and insights (to improve marketing)

Sentiments (feelings attitudes emotions)

+ Transactions (sales surveys)

+ Profiles (demographics psychological states)

+ Behaviors (web browsing geotracking)

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

Social Media Listening Platforms

Aggregators that capture (scrape) and synthesize conversationsFree

Platforms

DIY Scraping

PaidPlatforms

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

TrendsPain points amp hot

issuesNew ideas

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

the landrdquo

ldquoSMR levels the playing field in our favor since we

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

ldquo[SMR] is only

appropriate for quick

answers to low impact questionsrdquo

ldquo[We] know that the sample frame is weak but

doing social media research will enable the

MR department to do more with less moneyrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is a window on the

worldrdquo

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

ResultUsed SM to define the keyword through consumer images consumer videos terms and language Used as inspiration to ad agency

Thank you Renee Murphy

ldquoPeople are not necessarily talking about you or the things you need to know But if they are talking about you you need to know itrdquo

ldquoIf your customers are talking about you then there is no longer an excuse for not listeningrdquo

Ray Poynter (The Handbook of Online and Social Media Research)

Two-thirds of MR suppliers provide some SM monitoring or

analysis to clients GRIT Report Winter 2013

What it specifically entails could any of a number of services

Big Data has many definitions (Think NSA)

Collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process

Our lives leave a wake of information behind us which is becoming quantified -- Datafied

Holy Grail of Big Data

To link different data sets together to create new learning and insights (to improve marketing)

Sentiments (feelings attitudes emotions)

+ Transactions (sales surveys)

+ Profiles (demographics psychological states)

+ Behaviors (web browsing geotracking)

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Our focus is on the listening

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Why should I care about Social Media Research

ldquoPeople are not necessarily talking about you or the things you need to know But if they are talking about you you need to know itrdquo

ldquoIf your customers are talking about you then there is no longer an excuse for not listeningrdquo

analysis to clients GRIT Report Winter 2013

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Why should I care about Social Media Research

ldquoPeople are not necessarily talking about you or the things you need to know But if they are talking about you you need to know itrdquo

ldquoIf your customers are talking about you then there is no longer an excuse for not listeningrdquo

Ray Poynter (The Handbook of Online and Social Media Research)

Two-thirds of MR suppliers provide some SM monitoring or

analysis to clients GRIT Report Winter 2013

What it specifically entails could any of a number of services

Big Data has many definitions (Think NSA)

Collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process

Our lives leave a wake of information behind us which is becoming quantified -- Datafied

Mobile location

Transactions

Event timeline

Pictures

Phone records

Comments

Holy Grail of Big Data

To link different data sets together to create new learning and insights (to improve marketing)

Sentiments (feelings attitudes emotions)

+ Transactions (sales surveys)

+ Profiles (demographics psychological states)

+ Behaviors (web browsing geotracking)

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

ldquo[SMR] is only

appropriate for quick

answers to low impact questionsrdquo

doing social media research will enable the

MR department to do more with less moneyrdquo

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Why should I care about Social Media Research

ldquoPeople are not necessarily talking about you or the things you need to know But if they are talking about you you need to know itrdquo

ldquoIf your customers are talking about you then there is no longer an excuse for not listeningrdquo

Ray Poynter (The Handbook of Online and Social Media Research)

Two-thirds of MR suppliers provide some SM monitoring or

analysis to clients GRIT Report Winter 2013

What it specifically entails could any of a number of services

Big Data has many definitions (Think NSA)

Collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process

Our lives leave a wake of information behind us which is becoming quantified -- Datafied

Mobile location

Transactions

Event timeline

Pictures

Phone records

Comments

Holy Grail of Big Data

To link different data sets together to create new learning and insights (to improve marketing)

Sentiments (feelings attitudes emotions)

+ Transactions (sales surveys)

+ Profiles (demographics psychological states)

+ Behaviors (web browsing geotracking)

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

the landrdquo

ldquoSMR levels the playing field in our favor since we

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

ldquo[SMR] is only

appropriate for quick

answers to low impact questionsrdquo

ldquo[We] know that the sample frame is weak but

doing social media research will enable the

MR department to do more with less moneyrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is a window on the

worldrdquo

Desired Results from SMR

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

Why should I care about Social Media Research

ldquoPeople are not necessarily talking about you or the things you need to know But if they are talking about you you need to know itrdquo

ldquoIf your customers are talking about you then there is no longer an excuse for not listeningrdquo

Ray Poynter (The Handbook of Online and Social Media Research)

Two-thirds of MR suppliers provide some SM monitoring or

analysis to clients GRIT Report Winter 2013

What it specifically entails could any of a number of services

Big Data has many definitions (Think NSA)

Collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process

Our lives leave a wake of information behind us which is becoming quantified -- Datafied

Mobile location

Transactions

Event timeline

Pictures

Phone records

Comments

Holy Grail of Big Data

To link different data sets together to create new learning and insights (to improve marketing)

Sentiments (feelings attitudes emotions)

+ Transactions (sales surveys)

+ Profiles (demographics psychological states)

+ Behaviors (web browsing geotracking)

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

Why should I care about Social Media Research

ldquoPeople are not necessarily talking about you or the things you need to know But if they are talking about you you need to know itrdquo

ldquoIf your customers are talking about you then there is no longer an excuse for not listeningrdquo

Ray Poynter (The Handbook of Online and Social Media Research)

Two-thirds of MR suppliers provide some SM monitoring or

analysis to clients GRIT Report Winter 2013

What it specifically entails could any of a number of services

Big Data has many definitions (Think NSA)

Collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process

Our lives leave a wake of information behind us which is becoming quantified -- Datafied

Mobile location

Transactions

Event timeline

Pictures

Phone records

Comments

Holy Grail of Big Data

To link different data sets together to create new learning and insights (to improve marketing)

Sentiments (feelings attitudes emotions)

+ Transactions (sales surveys)

+ Profiles (demographics psychological states)

+ Behaviors (web browsing geotracking)

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

Why should I care about Social Media Research

ldquoPeople are not necessarily talking about you or the things you need to know But if they are talking about you you need to know itrdquo

ldquoIf your customers are talking about you then there is no longer an excuse for not listeningrdquo

Ray Poynter (The Handbook of Online and Social Media Research)

Two-thirds of MR suppliers provide some SM monitoring or

analysis to clients GRIT Report Winter 2013

What it specifically entails could any of a number of services

Big Data has many definitions (Think NSA)

Collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process

Our lives leave a wake of information behind us which is becoming quantified -- Datafied

Mobile location

Transactions

Event timeline

Pictures

Phone records

Comments

Holy Grail of Big Data

To link different data sets together to create new learning and insights (to improve marketing)

Sentiments (feelings attitudes emotions)

+ Transactions (sales surveys)

+ Profiles (demographics psychological states)

+ Behaviors (web browsing geotracking)

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

ldquoPeople are not necessarily talking about you or the things you need to know But if they are talking about you you need to know itrdquo

ldquoIf your customers are talking about you then there is no longer an excuse for not listeningrdquo

Ray Poynter (The Handbook of Online and Social Media Research)

Two-thirds of MR suppliers provide some SM monitoring or

analysis to clients GRIT Report Winter 2013

What it specifically entails could any of a number of services

Big Data has many definitions (Think NSA)

Collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process

Our lives leave a wake of information behind us which is becoming quantified -- Datafied

Mobile location

Transactions

Event timeline

Pictures

Phone records

Comments

Holy Grail of Big Data

To link different data sets together to create new learning and insights (to improve marketing)

Sentiments (feelings attitudes emotions)

+ Transactions (sales surveys)

+ Profiles (demographics psychological states)

+ Behaviors (web browsing geotracking)

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Two-thirds of MR suppliers provide some SM monitoring or

analysis to clients GRIT Report Winter 2013

What it specifically entails could any of a number of services

Big Data has many definitions (Think NSA)

Collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process

Our lives leave a wake of information behind us which is becoming quantified -- Datafied

Mobile location

Transactions

Event timeline

Pictures

Phone records

Comments

Holy Grail of Big Data

To link different data sets together to create new learning and insights (to improve marketing)

Sentiments (feelings attitudes emotions)

+ Transactions (sales surveys)

+ Profiles (demographics psychological states)

+ Behaviors (web browsing geotracking)

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Big Data has many definitions (Think NSA)

Collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process

Our lives leave a wake of information behind us which is becoming quantified -- Datafied

Mobile location

Transactions

Event timeline

Pictures

Phone records

Comments

Holy Grail of Big Data

To link different data sets together to create new learning and insights (to improve marketing)

Sentiments (feelings attitudes emotions)

+ Transactions (sales surveys)

+ Profiles (demographics psychological states)

+ Behaviors (web browsing geotracking)

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Holy Grail of Big Data

To link different data sets together to create new learning and insights (to improve marketing)

Sentiments (feelings attitudes emotions)

+ Transactions (sales surveys)

+ Profiles (demographics psychological states)

+ Behaviors (web browsing geotracking)

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Holy Grail of Big Data

To link different data sets together to create new learning and insights (to improve marketing)

Sentiments (feelings attitudes emotions)

+ Transactions (sales surveys)

+ Profiles (demographics psychological states)

+ Behaviors (web browsing geotracking)

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

Social Media Listening Platforms

Aggregators that capture (scrape) and synthesize conversationsFree

Platforms

PaidPlatforms

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Source Social Radar

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

SM is an important component of Big Data

Social Media =

Twitter Facebook Pinterest YouTube LinkedIn blogs reviews forums

Interactions among people in virtual communities and networkswhere they create share and exchange information

SM = ldquoConversationsrdquo

Organic naturally occurring UnadulteratedUncensoredldquoPurerdquo ndash no research bias

Ripe for the picking

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

SM Conversations + Market Researchers ---gt SMR

Market Researchers SM conversations

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

Social Media Listening Platforms

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

At its most basic SMR = Social Media Listening

Listening to organic natural conversations for research purposesNO interaction w those providing the conversations

Remains ldquopurerdquo and unadulteratedRemains observational

However some people consider SMR as more than listening

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

and include interactionengagementwith those who are ldquotalkingrdquo

Role of PR and customer relationsAsking follow-up questions

MROCs Online recruiting Online FGs bulletin boards Pinterest as a research tool Co-creation

BUT being done through SM channels doesnrsquot make it SMR

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

Our focus is on the listening

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Our focus is on the listening

How do you listen in on these conversations

Social Media Listening Platforms

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Source Social Radar

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

ldquoSMR levels the playing field in our favor since we

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

information can see trendsrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is only

appropriate for quick

answers to low impact questionsrdquo

ldquo[We] know that the sample frame is weak but

doing social media research will enable the

MR department to do more with less moneyrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is a window on the

worldrdquo

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Page 25: QRCA Smooth Sailing through the Social Media Marketing Research Waters by Kris Hodges, Jennifer Dale, Dorrie Paynter, 2013

The age old Qual-Quant battle is at it again

Quant has claimed a stake ndash Big Qual

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALK

Sentiment

Basis for the listening platforms

Quantitatively reduced to

Likesdislikes

Word clouds

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

LOTS AND LOTS OF TALKThat needs to be analyzed

Perfect for QRCs We connect the

dots

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Page 28: QRCA Smooth Sailing through the Social Media Marketing Research Waters by Kris Hodges, Jennifer Dale, Dorrie Paynter, 2013

QRCs add value to the conversations

ldquo when making decisions about social relationships itrsquos foolish to swap the amazing machine in your skull for the crude machine on your deskrdquo

Computer-driven data analysis excels at measuring quantity of social interactions but not quality

ldquoPeople are better at mirroring emotional states and assigning value to things through emotion Data analysis is pretty bad at narrative and emergent thinking rdquo

David Brooks ndash New York Times columnist

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

Page 29: QRCA Smooth Sailing through the Social Media Marketing Research Waters by Kris Hodges, Jennifer Dale, Dorrie Paynter, 2013

Demand for QRC skills on the upswing

ldquo The main problem is that the [quant] tools may be very good at collecting data but they tend to be very poor at analyzing it

There seems to have been a switch back to manual coding and away from automated coding - which in turn has made people less inclined to collect very large amounts of datardquo

Ray Poynter

Even the New York Times is on our side

Article on Big Data

ldquoThe best (people) tend to be really curious thinkers who ask good

questions and are OK dealing with unstructured situations and trying to

find structure in themrdquo Theyrsquore talking about UsNOPE it is a Data Scientist

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

ldquoData Science The Numbers of Our Livesrdquo New York Times April 11 2013

Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era

They crunch the data

use mathematical models to analyze it

create narratives or visualizations to explain it

then suggest how to use the information to make decisions

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

SMR is rarely called Social Market Research

Many functions claiming SMR capabilities

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Additional Warning ldquoUsing great volumes of information requires profound changes in how we approach datardquo

ldquo In many instances we will need to give up our quest to discover the causes of things in return for accepting correlationsrdquo

ldquoBig data helps answer what not why and often thatrsquos good enoughrdquo

Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger ldquoThe Rise of Big Data How Itrsquos Changing the Way We Think About the World

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

Big Hype with SM and Big Data

Fast movingfast changing ndash in its infancyTrying to corral itMany providers that may not have longevityPromises may be better than actuality

Seeing chinks in the armor Constant monitoring yields little new contentis repetitive

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

You may already be doing SMR (according to some)

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

ldquo[SMR] is only

appropriate for quick

answers to low impact questionsrdquo

doing social media research will enable the

MR department to do more with less moneyrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is a window on the

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

New idea

Nope

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

In Summary

SMR is not scary ndash analyzing conversations is exactly what QRCs do

But SMR = SML(istening)

Qual and Quant turf battles but a bigger battle with Big Data which is encroaching on traditional MR territory

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

Glutenndashfree pizza specifically

Pizza vs Gluten-Free Pizza talk

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

TrendsPain points amp hot

issuesNew ideas

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

the landrdquo

ldquoSMR levels the playing field in our favor since we

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

ldquo[SMR] is only

appropriate for quick

answers to low impact questionsrdquo

doing social media research will enable the

MR department to do more with less moneyrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is a window on the

worldrdquo

Desired Results from SMR

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

ResultUsed SM to define the keyword through consumer images consumer videos terms and language Used as inspiration to ad agency

Thank you Renee Murphy

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

ldquoSMR levels the playing field in our favor since we

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

information can see trendsrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is only

appropriate for quick

answers to low impact questionsrdquo

ldquo[We] know that the sample frame is weak but

doing social media research will enable the

MR department to do more with less moneyrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is a window on the

worldrdquo

Desired Results from SMR

SMR Advantagesbull See the big picturebull Organic amp ldquorealrdquobull Familiar to younger generation bull Broad global audiencebull Immediatebull Cost effectivebull Also a recruiting tool

SMR Advantages

ldquoMuch richer than a quant studyrdquo

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

the landrdquo

ldquoSMR levels the playing field in our favor since we

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

information can see trendsrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is only

appropriate for quick

answers to low impact questionsrdquo

ldquo[We] know that the sample frame is weak but

doing social media research will enable the

MR department to do more with less moneyrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is a window on the

worldrdquo

Desired Results from SMR

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

ldquoWe have 3 full-time

ldquoNo one knows enough about SM ndash itrsquos a big black box to marketers Everyone

needs to be on it todayrdquo

relationshiphellip after 4 years we are finally using SM for researchrdquo

Why Conduct SMR

TrendsPain points amp hot

issuesNew ideas

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

the landrdquo

ldquoSMR levels the playing field in our favor since we

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

information can see trendsrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is only

appropriate for quick

answers to low impact questionsrdquo

ldquo[We] know that the sample frame is weak but

doing social media research will enable the

MR department to do more with less moneyrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is a window on the

worldrdquo

Desired Results from SMR

Desired Results from SMR

ldquo[We] search for verbatims to support findings of our other

ldquoSo customers know they are heardrdquo

SMR Advantagesbull See the big picturebull Organic amp ldquorealrdquobull Familiar to younger generation bull Broad global audiencebull Immediatebull Cost effectivebull Also a recruiting tool

SMR Advantages

ldquoMuch richer than a quant studyrdquo

We are phasing out [online communities in

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Thank you Kathy Doyle

ldquoWe have 3 full-time

ldquoNo one knows enough about SM ndash itrsquos a big black box to marketers Everyone

needs to be on it todayrdquo

ldquo[SMR] was started by a colleague in marketing using Facebook and Twitter for client

relationshiphellip after 4 years we are finally using SM for researchrdquo

Why Conduct SMR

Identify amp Research

TrendsPain points amp hot

issuesNew ideas

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

the landrdquo

ldquoSMR levels the playing field in our favor since we

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

information can see trendsrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is only

appropriate for quick

answers to low impact questionsrdquo

ldquo[We] know that the sample frame is weak but

doing social media research will enable the

MR department to do more with less moneyrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is a window on the

worldrdquo

Desired Results from SMR

Desired Results from SMR

ldquo[We] search for verbatims to support findings of our other

studiesrdquo

[We hope to find] insights to supplement other MR

trends spikes in sentiment or buzz to dig

ldquoTo build digital incomerdquo

ldquoSo customers know they are heardrdquo

SMR Advantagesbull See the big picturebull Organic amp ldquorealrdquobull Familiar to younger generation bull Broad global audiencebull Immediatebull Cost effectivebull Also a recruiting tool

SMR Advantages

ldquoMuch richer than a quant studyrdquo

We are phasing out [online communities in

ldquoSome targets are easier to get on SMrdquo

ldquo[SM data] is faster cheaper more immediaterdquo

ldquoWe are still struggling with what it is and how to use and how to engage in the b2b markethellip we are in the process of developing a processrdquo

ldquoWe have some sort of quant tool that interacts with social mediardquo

ldquoWe purchased software for media listening that nobody knows how to userdquo

ldquoWe recently used Pinterest in a homework assignment with participantsrdquo

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

Glutenndashfree pizza specifically

Pizza vs Gluten-Free Pizza talk

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

ResultUsed SM to define the keyword through consumer images consumer videos terms and language Used as inspiration to ad agency

Defining SMR

ldquo[With SMR] there is nothing that is not possiblerdquo

ldquo[SMR] is web listening and creating online communitieshellip and engaging with themrdquo

ldquogo online through our website and ask questionshellip and social media tracking of conversationshellip and online communitiesrdquo

ldquo[SMR] means consumer perceptions consumer preferencehellip so I can plan an acquisition strategyrdquo

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

Glutenndashfree pizza specifically

Pizza vs Gluten-Free Pizza talk

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings 2 Identify the treasure

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

ResultUsed SM to define the keyword through consumer images consumer videos terms and language Used as inspiration to ad agency

Thank you Renee Murphy

Fine tuning your searches is key What terms would your target use Like probing in a focus group

Follow that path or try another

doing social media research will enable the

MR department to do more with less moneyrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is a window on the

worldrdquo

Desired Results from SMR

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

Glutenndashfree pizza specifically

Pizza vs Gluten-Free Pizza talk

Source Social Radar

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings 2 Identify the treasure

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

ResultUsed SM to define the keyword through consumer images consumer videos terms and language Used as inspiration to ad agency

Thank you Renee Murphy

Fine tuning your searches is key What terms would your target use Like probing in a focus group

Follow that path or try another

Be a sleuth

Developing topic construct

Need to understand how to use search terms ldquoPizzardquo might be too broad = 138 MILLION

mentions in past 3 months Joersquos Pizza Parlor likely too narrow

Getting to the right pool Experiment

Gluten free versus Gluten-freeGF and Pizza marginally better BUT GF = girl

friendPizza and ldquogluten freerdquo

Ended up with ldquopizzardquo AND (ldquogluten freerdquo OR ldquogluten-freerdquo OR ldquoGF pizzardquo) =gt 35K mentions

Think creatively How else do people refer to your topic

SMR Decision Makers

ldquoWe have 3 full-time

employees just for SMRrdquo

ldquoNo one knows enough about SM ndash itrsquos a big black box to marketers Everyone

needs to be on it todayrdquo

ldquo[SMR] was started by a colleague in marketing using Facebook and Twitter for client

relationshiphellip after 4 years we are finally using SM for researchrdquo

Why Conduct SMR

Identify amp Research

TrendsPain points amp hot

issuesNew ideas

Why Conduct SMRldquoSocial media research is a first step where I need a survey of the world vs in-depthhellip I can ge the lay of

the landrdquo

ldquoSMR levels the playing field in our favor since we

have fewer resources [than bigger companies]rsquo

ldquo[SMR] adds to basic

information can see trendsrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is only

appropriate for quick

answers to low impact questionsrdquo

ldquo[We] know that the sample frame is weak but

doing social media research will enable the

MR department to do more with less moneyrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is a window on the

worldrdquo

Desired Results from SMR

Desired Results from SMR

ldquo[We] search for verbatims to support findings of our other

studiesrdquo

[We hope to find] insights to supplement other MR

trends spikes in sentiment or buzz to dig

into for insightsrdquo

ldquoTo build digital incomerdquo

ldquoSo customers know they are heardrdquo

SMR Advantagesbull See the big picturebull Organic amp ldquorealrdquobull Familiar to younger generation bull Broad global audiencebull Immediatebull Cost effectivebull Also a recruiting tool

SMR Advantages

ldquoMuch richer than a quant studyrdquo

We are phasing out [online communities in

exchange for more SMR]hellip online communities are artificial and not globalrdquo

ldquoSome targets are easier to get on SMrdquo

ldquo[SM data] is faster cheaper more immediaterdquo

SMR Tools Usedbull Internal Platformsbull External Tools Paid amp Unpaid

SMR Tools Used

ldquoWe are still struggling with what it is and how to use and how to engage in the b2b markethellip we are in the process of developing a processrdquo

ldquoWe have some sort of quant tool that interacts with social mediardquo

ldquoWe purchased software for media listening that nobody knows how to userdquo

ldquoWe recently used Pinterest in a homework assignment with participantsrdquo

ldquoInitially we had an internal toolhellip now we use a paid data aggregator thatrsquos more flexiblerdquo

ldquonot really doing true researchrdquo

ldquoWe take it with a grain of salt itrsquos only as good as our samplerdquo

ldquoUsing SM to sell isnrsquot worth a darn invasive people donrsquot like itrdquo

ldquo[SMR] tools are not sophisticated

enough to get true insights Need to explain why things

happenrdquoldquoIrsquom worried

about age and cultural biasrdquo

ldquoB2B opportunities not at all clearrdquo

ldquoDonrsquot have a strong enough grasprdquo

To identify how if at all research buyers are utilizing social media for marketing research and how if at all SMR provides value to their business

Research Objective

To identify how if at all research buyers are utilizing social media for marketing research and how if at all SMR provides value to their business

Research Objective

Future of SMRbull Growth unknown but assumedbull Increased consumer inputbull Increased mobile measurementsbull Complement to MR

Less traditional research Less online research

Future of SMR

ldquo[SMR] has swayhellip it is taken seriouslyrdquo

ldquoIn the future there will be more mobile

apps for market researchrdquo

ldquo[SMR] is just the

beginningrdquo

ldquoTherersquos value in exploration and opportunity to use the

findings up front earlier in the marketing processrdquo

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

Glutenndashfree pizza specifically

Pizza vs Gluten-Free Pizza talk

Source Social Radar

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings 2 Identify the treasure

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

ResultUsed SM to define the keyword through consumer images consumer videos terms and language Used as inspiration to ad agency

Thank you Renee Murphy

Jump in the water is fine

Fine tuning your searches is key What terms would your target use Like probing in a focus group

Follow that path or try another

Be a sleuth

Developing topic construct

Need to understand how to use search terms ldquoPizzardquo might be too broad = 138 MILLION

mentions in past 3 months Joersquos Pizza Parlor likely too narrow

Getting to the right pool Experiment

Gluten free versus Gluten-freeGF and Pizza marginally better BUT GF = girl

friendPizza and ldquogluten freerdquo

Ended up with ldquopizzardquo AND (ldquogluten freerdquo OR ldquogluten-freerdquo OR ldquoGF pizzardquo) =gt 35K mentions

Think creatively How else do people refer to your topic

McDonaldrsquos - ldquoMickey Deersquosrdquo Pizza Hut ndash ldquothe hutrdquo

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

Glutenndashfree pizza specifically

Pizza vs Gluten-Free Pizza talk

Source Social Radar

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings 2 Identify the treasure

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

ResultUsed SM to define the keyword through consumer images consumer videos terms and language Used as inspiration to ad agency

Thank you Renee Murphy

Jump in the water is fine

Fine tuning your searches is key What terms would your target use Like probing in a focus group

Follow that path or try another

Be a sleuth

Developing topic construct

Need to understand how to use search terms ldquoPizzardquo might be too broad = 138 MILLION

mentions in past 3 months Joersquos Pizza Parlor likely too narrow

Getting to the right pool Experiment

Gluten free versus Gluten-freeGF and Pizza marginally better BUT GF = girl

Ended up with ldquopizzardquo AND (ldquogluten freerdquo OR ldquogluten-freerdquo OR ldquoGF pizzardquo) =gt 35K mentions

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

Glutenndashfree pizza specifically

Pizza vs Gluten-Free Pizza talk

Source Social Radar

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings 2 Identify the treasure

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

ResultUsed SM to define the keyword through consumer images consumer videos terms and language Used as inspiration to ad agency

Thank you Renee Murphy

More objectives that work Benefit articulation SWOT analysis Product launch evaluation

pizza2) What can we learn from Dominosrsquo

experience to help our launch be a success

3) What are consumer concernshesitations about gluten-free pizza

Jump in the water is fine

Fine tuning your searches is key What terms would your target use Like probing in a focus group

Follow that path or try another

Be a sleuth

Developing topic construct

Need to understand how to use search terms ldquoPizzardquo might be too broad = 138 MILLION

mentions in past 3 months Joersquos Pizza Parlor likely too narrow

Getting to the right pool Experiment

Gluten free versus Gluten-freeGF and Pizza marginally better BUT GF = girl

friendPizza and ldquogluten freerdquo

Ended up with ldquopizzardquo AND (ldquogluten freerdquo OR ldquogluten-freerdquo OR ldquoGF pizzardquo) =gt 35K mentions

Think creatively How else do people refer to your topic

McDonaldrsquos - ldquoMickey Deersquosrdquo Pizza Hut ndash ldquothe hutrdquo

Fine tune

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

Glutenndashfree pizza specifically

Pizza vs Gluten-Free Pizza talk

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings 2 Identify the treasure

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

Glutenndashfree pizza specifically

Pizza vs Gluten-Free Pizza talk

Source Social Radar

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings 2 Identify the treasure

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

ResultUsed SM to define the keyword through consumer images consumer videos terms and language Used as inspiration to ad agency

Thank you Renee Murphy

More objectives that work Benefit articulation SWOT analysis Product launch evaluation

What others can you think of

Fine tuning your searches is key What terms would your target use Like probing in a focus group

Follow that path or try another

Be a sleuth

Developing topic construct

Need to understand how to use search terms ldquoPizzardquo might be too broad = 138 MILLION

Getting to the right pool Experiment

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

ldquo[SMR] tools are not sophisticated

ldquoB2B opportunities not at all clearrdquo

SMR Pitfalls

ldquonot really doing true researchrdquo

ldquoWe take it with a grain of salt itrsquos only as good as our samplerdquo

ldquoUsing SM to sell isnrsquot worth a darn invasive people donrsquot like itrdquo

ldquo[SMR] tools are not sophisticated

enough to get true insights Need to explain why things

happenrdquoldquoIrsquom worried

about age and cultural biasrdquo

ldquoB2B opportunities not at all clearrdquo

ldquoDonrsquot have a strong enough grasprdquo

To identify how if at all research buyers are utilizing social media for marketing research and how if at all SMR provides value to their business

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings

What can I researchTopic - are people talking about it online

Reaction to new advertising campaign vs drilling in to specific aspects of the commercial

Self-limiting no probing showing stimuli Twitter has 140 character limit

Need to define narrowly enough to find themes ldquoPizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Pizzardquo vs ldquoDominorsquos Gluten-Free Pizzardquo

Topics tend to be broader vs more in-depth

Professional commentatorsinfluencers make water murky

Big Gulp controversy in NYC Too much noise ndash couldnrsquot find consumer

voice

Consumer topics tend to be easier than b-to-b but b-to-b not impossible Have to ldquolistenrdquo in the right forums

blogs etc

Time-sensitive topics are fine Reaction to product launch in past How far back depends on platform

We agreed upon

Glutenndashfree pizza specifically

Pizza vs Gluten-Free Pizza talk

Source Social Radar

Travel the seven seas1 Get your bearings 2 Identify the treasure

New idea

Nope

ie Define your objectives

Not all objectives that work in other forms of qual work in SMR

Canrsquot get feedback on new idea if it hasnrsquot launched

But CAN learn from competition

Can be stand alone project or part of a project Smarter proposals amp new client

presentations Refine screening criteria Tighten guide Part of a hybrid approach

Case studies

Who else can we target with this beauty product

Result bull Found several segments using product for

different reason than current packaging described became new target audience for the product

Thank you Renee Murphy

Look for target segments

New business workClient entering new category learned by

looking at current category

ResultMade recommendations on features and current product problems that they could address when designing their entry A relatively quick and inexpensive way to get LOTS of input Thank you Kathy Doyle

Due diligenceFor-profit institute considering purchase

of another company

ResultUncovered a significant issue purchase did not go through

Thank you Kathy Doyle

Inform and inspire marketing efforts Client redirecting marketing efforts in

the health industry - wanted robust understanding of certain keyword

ResultUsed SM to define the keyword through consumer images consumer videos terms and language Used as inspiration to ad agency

Thank you Renee Murphy

More objectives that work Benefit articulation SWOT analysis Product launch evaluation

What others can you think of

Our gluten-free pizza objectives 1) What would make the ideal gluten-free

pizza2) What can we learn from Dominosrsquo

experience to help our launch be a success

3) What are consumer concernshesitations about gluten-free pizza
