Social Media Research – Crowd Sourcing
Dr. Aileen McGloin
Social Media Conference September 2010
Conclusions
• Significant proportion on social media• One in five using it to share info on food and
health• One in 10 willing to join conversation on food
safety and nutrition issues – low starting point.
• Social media monitoring for brand terms is useful• Social media monitoring for food issues is
challenging
