  • Brand Monitoring

    The social real-time web is providing a tidal wave of useful information for brands to build better relationships with their customers. In the past brands were typically separated from their customers by distributors and retailers. Today brands can use social sources to get real-time insights into their customers and the competition. DataSift allows brands to build filters that follow the complete commentary on their brand, from a multitude of sources not just of social media content but also different demographics, geographical location and type of coverage in terms of sentiment expressed. DataSift gives you sophisticated tools to take both an aggregate and a granular view of how customers respond to your brand in real time. Through our partner applications this data can rapidly be transformed into an automated process that alerts you to certain changes, such as expression of extremely negative sentiment, allowing you to take positive action immediately.
