Monitor Your Competitors in Social Media

socialmediamonitor-900

Social Media is now an essential part of everyday life in New Zealand, with at least three quarters of NZ consumers active in one or other of the social media channels (World Internet Project NZ 2015 data).

Tens of millions of advertising dollars are being spent in social media by New Zealand advertisers, according to IAB NZ reports.

But how much do you know about how your brand is faring in social media? What do you know about how your competitors are using the channels?

To fill the knowledge gap, we have developed an extensive Social Media Monitor, to report on:

  • Social Media activity over the most recent 12 months for your brand and its key competitors, across six key social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube and Twitter)
  • The most engaging posts across key social media for each brand

The Social Media Monitor is intended to be both a record of what’s been happening and a way to identify opportunities for future social media usage.

The data is gathered using various software tools we’ve had developed, and then commentary and observation is added (based on our forty-plus years’ experience in advertising and marketing, working on virtually every business sector).

We’ve assembled a prototype report, which you can download here (NB this is a prototype, for demonstration purposes), so only some of the data is real; the rest is placeholding content to illustrate the concept).

In addition, we drill down into each social medium and identify the top posts that have attracted consumer engagement.

Where available, we’ll also include samples of recent Facebook and/or Instagram advertising by the brand.
