About Measuring the Impact of Social in a Multichannel World - Panel Discussion
Social Media is the glue between the digital world and the real world. Whether its people talking with friends about the brands they love or hate, or posting about real experiences as they happen, its a crucial conduit between what people actually do and how they then interact in the digital space. OK so far. However the challenge for brands is how to accurately measure this interaction and generate actionable insight. Gone are the days when 'likes' alone are considered a reasonable measure of commercial success, but what is the future measurement landscape going to look like and how can brands start making the right choices. Our panelists of experts will shed insight on their experience/approach and answer your questions in what is likely to be one of the more engaging panel sessions of the day.
