  • For our purposes, we use Radian 6 for Social Listening and it serves as a both a listening and Real-Time monitoring tool and the output / or return provides us with data to produce analytic reports, Social Brand Intelligence as well as data that provides snapshot analytics for Competitor Intel reporting.

  • We were using the product to listen to conversations and mentions about our clients and their competitors. We generated reports about these mentions and then presented them to the client and measured sentiment.The primary activities were listening, reporting, and online reputation management.

  • We use the tool mainly to monitor what is being said about us and to indentify who our top influencers are. We really want to know who is tweeting about our campaigns, sharing our content etc. Once we have identified top influencers, we reach out to them for engagement using other channels (email / blogs).
  • In a nutshell, we use the tool to ID our brand promoters. The software definitely helps us to solve the problem we purchased it to solve. The only real problem is on our side. We do not have adequate resources to really analyze the data that Radian 6 returns and build appropriate communication and engagement strategies to better target these people. We simply don’t have enough people to really parse the data.
  • We use a different tool for scheduling tweets / FB posts (Small Act Thrive).
