As a marketing agency, we use a number of "must have" apps to ensure that we are regularly monitoring our clients performance online and ensuring that we are abreast of their competitors movements, campaigns and conversations as well as leveraging industry news and developments to bring their brands to the forefront.
While we continue to grow audiences, increasing our clients brands within the circles in which they trade, it becomes increasingly important to utilize Apps that cut-through the clutter and help ensures that we don't waste time on social media where possible.
Here are 8 of the most efficient analytical Apps that Marketing Eye uses:
1. HootSuite: If you don't use this, then you have not only been hiding under a rock, but you are missing a valuable tool. HootSuite is a social media management solution that enables teams to collaborately execute social media campaigns across multiple platforms from one single view point - a dashboard. HootSuite includes audience identification tools, the ability to streamline workflow and customize reporting. It is perfect for managing Twitter accounts.
2. Klout: I range from being a 72 on Klout to a 64, depending on how much time I want to spend on social media - however it does have value. Firstly, it gives me visibility of my competitors and where they sit on Klout (which is below Marketing Eye) and it helps find influencers in your audience so you can target and encourage them to become advocates of your brand.
3. TweetBeep: Is the Google alerts for Twitter.
4. BackTweets: Tracks how many people are talking about you, who is actually talking and what they are saying so you can address any issues, thank the key influencers and join the conversation.
