Continuing our pre-view of workshops at Monitoring Social Media Bootcamp next week, Katy Howell (Managing Director, Immediate Future) will be hosting a hugely valuable session on how to measure the success of your social media monitoring campaigns. It’s going to be quite a technical session, including frameworks for KPI’s, calculations for ROI and lots of case studies from brands such as Sony, Bailey’s and Adidas.
So who’s making the money in social media measurement and monitoring? I was on a panel asked this question at the Measurement & Monitoring Meetup on Friday. It’s essentially another take on the ROI of social media monitoring question, but with the focus widened to include suppliers and consultants, and at first sight it’s a rather annoying question. Having established at the Chinwag event on Tuesday that social media isn’t (necessarily) all about financial ROI, to be asked where the money is in relation to social media monitoring tools seems regressive.
