According to e-Marketer, for many marketers, conversations on social networks have become a key source of information during the coronavirus pandemic. A March 2020 survey conducted by Gartner found that just over half (51%) of marketing leaders worldwide turned to social listening platforms for “rapid information about consumers’ changing preferences, habits and expectations during the COVID-19 crisis.”
For insight on how marketers are using social listening to help navigate the pandemic, e-Marketer spoke with Brian Wright, social media listening and intelligence leader at Wells Fargo, about strategy, technology and measuring ROI. Brian explains their set up:
“We have a real-time listening team that focuses on conversations that are being shared every day. We also have a deep-listening team that is more aligned with the directional research we do, analyzing conversations that complement the real-time team. The two work really well together to provide a broader picture of what’s going on with consumers and competitors.”
