The World of Social Media Monitoring and Analytics

The first bit of data on this infographic is pretty fascinating… the growth of the analytics tool market. In my opinion, it points to a couple issues. First is that we’re all still seeking better tools to report and monitor on our marketing strategies and second is that we’re willing to apply a larger percentage of our marketing budget to ensure our strategies are working.

As we use social media to connect with others, we create a digital data trail of human interaction. When analyzed properly, this valuable data can show public opinion and consumer trends, make predictions and provide insights. For companies properly collecting and analyzing this data, it can be key to success. This infographic from Demand Metric was designed to provide organizations with information about the world of social media monitoring and analytics.
