A framework for social media metrics by K. Craft

  1. For today’s Social Media Breakfast: Waterloo Region, I organized a session about social media and measurement presented by Kelly Craft. There was a packed house in a great room provided by Quarry Integrated Communications. Here’s an overview of the session’s highlights.

    Like everything - devil is in the details for SM metrics. Be care of the assumptions you make. #smbWR

    Metrics without analysis and action aren’t worth tracking at all #smbwr

    Most orgs don’t bother to ask customers what they want before planning social strategies. #smbWR

    Interesting… wonder why not? Most orgs don’t bother to ask customers what they want before planning social strategies #smbWR @AussieBerry

    No one can tell you what your customers want, than your customers. Talk to them before building a sociall strategy. #smbWR

    Looking at one metric in isolation does not bring us intelligence. @krcraft #smbWR

    Metrics have to be actionable to provide intelligence @krcraft #smbWR good advice regardless of platform.

    Metrics are not static, or useful without analysis refine constantly and look for new ones #smbwr
