Adobe Social is a great social management platform. One issue my business used to have one issue in the past: we would struggle to look for the correct individuals for our products. Using Adobe Social, we managed a deeper relationship with our customers and boosted our productivity.

Our organization, which is comprised of several business units, introduced and mandated the use of Adobe Social across the company after an initial pilot during which many concerns were raised. The tool was implemented anyway, and business units were required to use it for all social media publishing for the next three years. However, the limitations of the tool forced many to publish certain types of content outside of the tool.

Adobe Social was primarily used by Marketing and Digital. Marketing: to schedule posts and report on social engagement - especially as it relates to our tv shows, pop culture and to analyzing posts we did for sponsors. Digital: plugged in the data from the social side to Omniture (or whatever it's called now) to assess click thru rates from social.

Adobe Social is used to schedule social posts for our client. Client is able to approve the post and leave comments through Adobe Social before posts are scheduled. It is only being used by the Social Media team and the Social Analytics team. It addresses the problem of client approval for social posts and the ability to schedule posts.

Adobe Social was used as our social analytics tool. It helped guide the overall content strategy for the social department and enabled the department to be more efficient and analytical. Adobe Social provided measurable top level results for our department managers. Social media can be tough to analyze, but Adobe Social solved this problem.

My experience using Adobe Social (AS) was in the capacity of utilizing functions of real-time tracking, customer outreach and solutions, and search analytics for Cengage Learning.

As a Digital Media Planner overseeing several corporate accounts with multiple social channels, the versatility of the content creation interface coupled with the versatility of managing a large number of accounts made the responsibilities of the role infinitely easier. The multi-level approval for scheduling content also made communicating with supervisors and other contributors much less stressful. Adobe Social's timeline scheduling tool just makes sense, and it's a wonder more interfaces don't follow suit.

In addition, the analytic features of Adobe Social are outstanding. Keeping on top of several pages with audiences of +10,000 can be daunting, especially with a consumer-faced product that can be frustrating to some users. Adobe Social's real-time updates (including emotional metrics, which is astoundingly impressive) make managing customer solutions from a social interface much easier.

Overall, Adobe Social is a product I would love to work with in every position (past and future) I have in Digital Media.

Adobe Social is being used by the corporate Social Media Team. It allows us to seed content to 120 different brand managers, while aggregating KPIs to make smarter business decisions. It is tied to Adobe Analytics so we are able to attribute website engagements and conversions back to social media content.

Adobe Social is used to tie our social promotions back to our web analytics to measure reach, sentiment and conversion. It is primarily used by Corporate Marketing, however, we do have some field marketing sites that contribute.
