The Fifth Elephant 2012

Social media generates a massive amount of data and not all brands are drawing enough sense out of it. A platform which has conversations to listen to, the question is how to create an understanding from it and use the data to identify consumers and prospects.

This session aims to give an overview of how marketers see and use big data to create their digital marketing strategies and how a developer should harness available APIs to create meaningful analysis of data.

Outline

The session shall cover case studies of Indian brands using social media data to generate meaningful marketing campaigns. It would include how we as a social media agency saw this data and used it to create meaningful insights. Lastly, we would see some hands on reporting/analysis on social media datasets.

Requirements

Basic understanding of REST APi’s and entry level understanding of twitter and facebook.
