Keynote: Emerging Standards in Social Media Measurement
Katie Delahaye Paine – Chief Marketing Officer, News Group International

Katie specialises in helping organisations to measure social media engagement and the value of online relationships. From her PR roots, she has developed a hard-hitting and logical approach to measurement that can be applied across PR, marketing and communications. In this keynote she will explain the core principles of social media measurement, both theory and practice.

Attribution vs Contribution - Tracking Leads Through Facebook
Katy Howell - CEO, Immediate Futureb

According to Google’s ‘Zero Moment of Truth’ (ZMOT), consumers now check (on average) 10.4 information sources before they buy. We see a product in a magazine, read reviews on Amazon, ask friends on Facebook, then buy it on our iPad. What does this do to our Attribution Modelling? Katy Howell will explain all.

Social Measurement and the Data Explosion
Jacqui Taylor – CEO, FlyingBinary

Social Data has moved beyond the boundaries of the customer facing departments of organisations and is starting to play a leading role in driving business strategy. This is creating an opportunity for specialists to maximise the impact of social data, both on external and internal communications. In this fascinating session Jacqui will explain the trends that are emerging which will influence the way organisations operate. She will also demonstrate how don’t need to be a “data expert” to be part of this opportunity.

Astroturfing and the Rise of Fake Influencers
Lutz Finger - Co Founder, Fisheye Analytics

As social media measurement norms emerge, enterprising individuals have learned to 'game' the system to appear more influential than they actually are; a practice known as "Astroturfing". In this unique presentation, Lutz will analyse public discussion across social media and, citing examples such as the woman2drive campaign in Saudi Arabia and Occupy Wall Street Campaign, explain how to distinguish between fake and real attempts at influence.

Integrating Social Media Monitoring, Analytics and Measurement
Marshall Sponder - Analytics & Metrics Consultant

Most organisations are using a patchwork of solutions to monitor and measure their marketing activities. With the proliferation of solutions available and wide range of metrics - how can brands create a truly end-to-end picture? In this fascinating session Marshall Sponder, author of Social Media Analytics (McGraw Hill) explains how to join up the dots.

Measuring What Matters on Instagram
Gabriel Hubert - Co-Founder & CEO, Nitrogram

Over 90 million people and brands are now actively using Instagram to share photos and information. But with all marketing activities, organisations need to know how to measure the success of their activities on the platform. Join Gabriel for this exploration of Instagram, it’s rules, specificities and metrics.

Using Google Analytics to Measure the Direct and Indirect Value of Social Media
Andrew Bruce Smith – Managing Director, Escherman

While many savvy marketeers are using Google Analytics to show both the direct and indirect contribution that social media makes to business goals, some companies are missing out on the “assistive” worth of social media. In this presentation Andrew will show how multi-channel funnels and attribution models in Google Analytics can show the true role and value delivered by social media.
