Testimonials
Lauren Hackett, Senior Vice President Global Communications
"The reporting that we've [developed] over time, really helps us to figure out where our opportunity is as marketers, broadly defined. By looking at the themes that are being discussed externally, we can start to have better planning and make more informed decisions."
Katie Miller, Program Manager
"First, it gives us the reach, engagement and sentiment data that we're looking for, above and beyond our own channels. We're not just interested in understanding how our own posts perform, we want to know what the larger conversation looks like."
