Top 3 takeaways from the Social Search Prism
THANK YOU
Social is ever-evolving, so fluid (and collective) intelligence around measurement, KPIs and cross-department alignment become critical.
Modeling the attribution of social assets (outside of social platforms) can be the “missing link” to proving social ROI.
Social Signal audits can be performed to identify key channels, missed opportunities, competitive positioning, and engagement gaps.
