Best Practices: Inspiration
Work Backwards
• What is my company/team strategy?
• What are my goals?
• What are the business outcomes I need to create?
• What problems do we currently face?
• How can smart segmentation address these needs and gaps?
22. #NYKLondon
Why?
• You can compare a share of voice with a competitor based on query
volumes, i.e. how many times has my brand been mentioned online vs.
how many times my competitors have been mentioned online?
• Sometimes it may be more accurate to compare the number of mentions
a competitor has within your own brand query, i.e. which competitors are
being mentioned the most within the conversation about your brand?

1. Competitive Segmentation
• Question: Across all Ben & Jerry’s conversation, which competitor is
most commonly mentioned?
• Solution: Competitive Rules + Category overlaid on Ben & Jerry’s Brand
Query
28. #NYKLondon
Why?
• Owned content: Content online written by you, either from your social
accounts or on your own website
• Earned content: Content online written by other people, excluding any
content written by you, i.e. all of your mentions excluding your owned
content
• This allows you to compare topics from your owned channels vs. your
audience, or whether your owned channels are effective in generating
engagement for example

Why?
• You may wish to exclude a particular topic from your data temporarily, or
just in one section of your dashboard
• The best way to do this is to exclude a tag or category as a filter from
your component, tab, or dashboard
Enter the data with no preconceptions and conduct some open listening to find underlying themes
Ok so the topic is on segmentation and that slide is if you know you want to get more granular with your data/analysis but don't know where to begin and need inspiration you can let the data guide you. So start with your query, enter the data with no preconceptions and conduct open listening to find underlying themes.
The images are examples of what you might see in a ben and jerry's dashboard.. so maybe you see there are alot of topics about different flavors in the cloud. Create a category to break down the flavor preferences further.
Or we see there's lots of conversation around "dairy free" maybe create a tag and see if that convo is negative/positive etc
to the right if you see specific influencers emerging, create segmentation to visualize them separately or compare them and the engagement they raise for the brand
A better way to benchmark?
Dairy Queen has the highest Conversation Volume across the competitive set, but does that mean they are Ben & Jerry’s biggest competitor?
