Introduction
In 2008 when we held our first discussion on Measuring Social Media, the first generation of social networks and their exploding userbase provided more than a handful of challenges when it came to measurement. Fast-forward three years and the metrics landscape has changed beyond recognition. Not only has Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and hundreds of other social platforms become part of our everyday lives, but so have the tools available to analyse and measure their impact.
This session looks to answer the key questions in measurement and monitor of social media including:
- What are the practical measurement issues facing brands monitoring social media?
- How can one evaluate the different language of the general web (message boards and blogs) as against Facebook and Twitter. What works best where?
- How are brands like Bushmills, Cadbury and Carphone Warehouse using social media to forecast consumer behaviour and evaluate the benefits of marketing and business initiatives?
- Why are people shunning search engines and using LinkedIn, Twitter or Quora to get information? What does it mean for brand owners?

Panel Debate & Case Studies
This session brings together the leading experts in measuring social media to look at the current best practices in social media metrics combined with an insight into what the future might hold.
Looking at practical issues of how best to measure ROI, reach vs influence, what constitutes campaign success, forecasting social media impact and how best to tackle the myriad of options for monitoring both user's interactions and conversations.
The panel will also share their insight into how the the emerging technologies of semantic analysis, sentiment analysis and behavioural targeting can provide deeper audience insight.
This new world opens up a range of possibilities for pre- and post-campaign analysis. It's now possible to measure the impact of campaigns and customer conversations on social media directly, and the impact of digital and traditional marketing across social networks.
