Challenge
Seeking Effective Social Media Management Tools
In only a few short years, Yoco has grown into one of the most well-known fintech companies in South Africa. However, with rapid expansion came the need to effectively manage and respond to everything happening on their social media channels. They needed accurate and relevant data analysis on social media - and fast.
"With Meltwater Engage, we are able to efficiently respond to comments on our social media, particularly ads which have helped people sign up for Yoco more easily and quickly. It has also helped us manage and deal with online complaints timeously and efficiently as we are able to see a history of all conversations with that person. Through tags, we've been able to track the overall sentiment of messages and comments, report back to the business and develop strategies to manage these. Specifically, the big difference for us was being able to respond to Facebook Ads and even Facebook Paid Dark Ads - which has led to more sign-ups. The Meltwater Team has just been amazing - Derynne and Nathan are so hands-on and helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the solution works for our business needs."
