IDG's Social Scout brand listening platform delivers real-time, actionable insights—we don't regurgitate every comment that mentions your clients' and their competitors' brands. Our thematic discovery technology combines text modeling and pattern recognition to automatically discover relevant conversation topics. By weighing the engagement levels around a particular topic, we filter out the noise.

Monthly reports will be provided to track:

  • Which market segments and issues are being discussed the most.
  • What people are actually saying about the market segments, issues and brands - around set keywords as well as conversations that are organically bubbling to the top.
  • Relationship of engagement scores to larger market trends.
  • Top brands Share of ConversationSM .
