Slide 1: Trends that Drive Social Intelligence Forrester defines Social Intelligence as, “the concept of turning social media data into actionable marketing and business strategy.” An increasing number of marketers are leveraging Social Intelligence to better understand where, when and how to connect with their target audiences. As Social Intelligence can be transformative, a company needs it to maintain meaningful, productive relationships. How Social Intelligence helps The social and business strategies of an enterprise can become tangled with the use of Social Intelligence.

This process aids in disclosing who a customer is, what they may want, and how the customer feels about what they want. With this information the business can anticipate the customer’s needs and try to fulfill them. Organizations need to decide to move from the concept of simply monitoring social data to applying Social Intelligence. With social communities continuing to evolve, those that don’t leverage Social Intelligence won’t be able to act on insights that help them get ahead of competition. The data collected can be used by businesses to optimize everything from advertising campaigns and engagement programs to product development and revenue efficiencies, and this data can redefine the social landscape.
