Promise of Web Analytics (when it works)

Page 3: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

Top Likes and Dislikes

Getting to know the “Customer Mindset” is something Social Media Analytics is right for, and something that Web Analytics is generally unable to do. Netbase is one of the best platforms for this type of analysis.

German Insight: For both McDonalds’s & KFC, Spanish creates a greater buzz than German. McDonald’s buzz is larger than KFC in all languages

Web Audience Data Combined with Social Data/ Sentiment is the best option

Compete.com (Web) + NetBase (Social)

1+1=3Once you map the sentiment of people who talk about Netflix to their location on the Traffic Dashboard you have a “new way” of visualizing audience sentiment by visitor segment and overall site referral traffic

Plus, “Big Data” Analytics helps users to find new patterns and insights

Page 13: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

Thanks to Big Data, Analytics Will Be a $51B Business by 2016: IDC

Page 14: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

Most CMO’s believe Social Media Impacts Sales (but are uncertain it drives Sales)

Page 15: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

But most of the trackable Social Media Activity isn’t integrated

with existing Web Analytics

solutions.

Page 16: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

The Mobile Web, Web Tablets and

smart phones, with their accompanying apps (most which

are socially enabled) are

challenging to track well with any single

system, Web Analytics, Social or

Mobile

Big Data Stacks, which ones do you choose to store and process information ?

Page 31: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

The “Interface” ProblemAnalytics platforms have not evolved quickly enough to satisfy stakeholders actual Data Needs (why they bought the platforms in the first place); but users can’t yet articulate their needs because they don’t understand the data or it’s uses as it applies to their everyday tasks.

Medium as Message, improved Analytics Interfaces & Workflows will

raise analyst Productivity dramatically

Left and Right Brained Siloes and their toolsets (difficult to reconcile)

Right Brain Left Brain

Page 36: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

We Need Synthesis of the Left and Right Brain to see Whole Picture

Page 37: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

3. The Personalized vs. Generic Continuum

Page 38: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

The Analytics for Personalized messaging is expensive to create and time consuming to

scale

Page 39: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

Personalization is worth while if there enough time and resources

Page 40: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

We need just the right amount of Personalization

Page 41: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

4. The Measurement Continuum

Combining Social Media with Web Analytics for Greater Insights

Use Web Analytics to measure the impact of your Social Activity driving traffic to your on your Website. Site analytics is one aspect to measuring social media and any ROI usually has a Web analytics component or input.

Web Analytics works well to measure the impact of Social Media to your business if your ultimate goal is to bring everyone that hears about you in Social Media back to your Website. If that’s not your goal, Web Analytics will not be very helpful.

Page 62: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

Measure the impact of Social Activity on your on your Website using Google Analytics.

Page 63: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

Website Tools are evolving to track Social Shares generated by WOM and Social Campaigns that lead back to your site

Page 64: Social smarts presenation   marshall sponder - updated 9-16-12

And Track how Social Traffic moves around on your website.
