Social Data Analysis
Data Analytics:
Identifying and
extracting a
target data set
Identify
• Collect Social Media conversations for the themes created in the research phase
• Create a “conversation matrix” to segment your data set by categories and themes
• Examine and quantify what is important and relevant to the target audience
• Analyze data by conversation, domain, and author within each category
• Determined by your goals and objectives
Analytics and Measurement
Author Influence – Relevant Influence Index (RII) • We created a unique measure of influence specific to mothers. We have
called it the Relevant Influence Index (RII)
• A score of 100 = average influence compared to all the other authors in the data set
• If someone scores 200, they are twice as influential as the average author in our dataset, so if someone has a score of 5,000, they are extremely influential to your target audience and 50 times more influential than the average
• The index is based on three things: 1. Volume of posts containing relevant content (i.e. from the conversation
matrix) 2. Relevance of content (number of family taxonomy words contained in
posts) – we call this NET FAMILY SCORE 3. Reach within the community – number of followers or responses to /
comments on forum posts or blog entries
Analytics and Measurement
Theme Relevance Index (TRI) • We created a unique measure to track changes in themes over time, we it call
it the Theme Relevance Index (TRI).
• Using the theme categories developed in the conversation matrix we can track changes in theme volume and sentiment over time. We can see changing moods on a weekly/monthly basis based on the index score of each category.
• A score of 100 = average compared to all categories in the data set. A score of 200 indicates that theme is twice as relevant as the average theme in our dataset.
• The index is based on three main elements: 1. Volume of posts containing relevant content for each category (i.e. from
the conversation matrix) 2. Sentiment of the each category 3. Reach of conversation within the theme
• This data is then tracked weekly and monthly to measure change in attitudes
and themes of our target audience

Act
• Determine the business outcome up front
• From the data, develop standard measures and metrics that explain your business outcome
• If comparing or tracking over time we frequently will create a measurement index
• Determine the best way to visualize and present this data for your audience
• Automate the process of updating the measurements
Experience Index
Enterprise Technology Company Needs to
Understand how Consumers Experience
New Products
• Goal was to drive greater uptake of new products to
Enterprise Clients
• Did not have a clear picture of how users experienced new
product releases
• Current models work well to predict purchase, but are costly
and time consuming
• Need more “in the moment” data for decisions during a
release cycle
Research to understand the customer journey
Identified 30+ Customer Experience Stages
Using the Customer Experience Methodology we
created 3 Data Sets
Traditional Survey
Social Media Conversations of Participants
Broad Social Media Search
Modeled the Data Sets
Results indicate the Social Data Model performed
similar to the Survey Data Model
