Who actually needs social media data?


Social media is pretty much the opposite of ‘one size fits all’. Since customised content is now the trend, a differentiated view of consumers is therefore the ideal perspective to have.
Social media data is almost every time interesting, but not always relevant for every company, and even less for every department. Whether for improving communication, early understanding of service needs, or product development tailored to target groups - the case in question determines who needs which data. To ensure that you as a company get the right social media data, we remain your port of call from the strategy via operational implementation all the way to implementing data structures.
