Acting on Customer Intelligence from Social Media The new edge for building customer loyalty and your brand. Although relatively new on the scene, social media has become a powerful force – growing fast in scope, audience and influence. This paper shares insights from a June 2010 webinar in the AMA Marketing Effectiveness Online Seminar Series, presented in association with the American Marketing Association and SAS, in which panelists discussed how to engage customers on social media to heighten brand awareness, spread your message, drive traffic to your website, and boost search engine rankings, awareness and affinity.

Social Media Metrics (PDF)
Listening, Understanding and Predicting the Impacts of Social Media on Your Business. There’s a wealth of customer and business insight to be found in social media, but organizations are struggling to understand, measure and capitalize on this untamed, open forum. Savvy marketers are reading and responding to social media content, but few organizations consolidate and analyze it in a systematic and strategic way. Effective social media measurement is the leading topic in marketing right now, and rightly so. That was the topic of a workshop conducted by SAS and a leading measurement and accountability research consultancy at the May 2010 eMetrics conference in San Jose, CA. This paper provides a summary of that workshop.
Text analytics for social media
Text analytics strive to derive meaning from the written word. This is massively complex because human communication is so context dependent. Understanding a simple phrase like, “He saw the boy with the telescope,” is tricky. Did he see the boy through the telescope or carrying the telescope? Download this white paper for a brief description of the underlying technologies from a marketer’s perspective, a quick review of what they do, how they’re now being used in marketing and how they might be used tomorrow.
The business value of social media (Video Panel)
Social media experts Charlene Li, Chris Brogan and David Meerman Scott share best practices and real-world examples from organizations like Citibank, Dell and the US Air Force. At The Premier Business Leadership Series 2010 in Las Vegas, social media hit the mainstream: Not only were there thousands of tweets about the executive conference sponsored by SAS, but the event’s social media panel was blogged, tweeted and streamed live. Web viewers used Twitter for a Q&A with panelists, while in-person attendees told stories about their own Twitter use and asked thought-provoking questions about the business value of social media.
Extending Email to Social Networks
By now, almost all of us are using at least one social networking or blogging site on a daily basis, either as a contributor or consumer of content, sometimes both. For marketers, this presents an opportunity to have your current subscribers evangelize your message to their networks of friends, family, and co-workers. As a large portion of your subscriber list will more than likely belong to one of these sites you can provide an easyto-use mechanism in your email campaigns to allow your readers to help share your content with a broader audience
