SageCircle Social Media Services

Social media is rapidly transitioning from being a playground for individuals to an important tool for business.  Some tools like blogging have been around for awhile, while others like Twitter are still emerging.  Regardless of the current start of the art, many hundreds of savvy analysts and AR professionals are using these and other tools to improve relationships, generate intelligence, and enhance conversations.

Unfortunately questions for AR abound: Should AR teams blog and tweet?   Does AR have to track bloggers and Twitterers who are not traditional analysts?   How can you pick up responsibility for blogging and Twittering when resources are already stretched thin?   When and how do you incorporate analyst blogs and Tweets into analyst opinion monitoring programs.   And most important: How to get started?

SageCircle provides AR professionals with information, tools and insights to make sense of the fast evolving social media scene.   The goal is to help you get up-to-speed on the implications of social media for AR so that you can make the important decision whether and how to add social media to your mix of interactions.

Social Media Traffic Analysis

A Structured Approach for Assessing the Volume of Tweets and Posts -  With analyst usage of social media growing it is critical that AR managers start to monitor analyst commentary in social media.  However, many AR programs are reluctant to add this task because of the perception that there would be significant effort required.  To overcome this perception, AR programs should conduct an analysis of actual analyst usage of social media to determine the facts as to how much work monitoring would require. SageCircle has developed the tools, techniques, databases, skills and analysis framework to make evaluating analysts’ usage an efficient and effective exercise.
