Social’s most savvy brands ranked in four industries across five key criteria
NEW YORK, September 23, 2015/PR Newswire/ — Brandwatch, the leading social intelligence company, today unveiled the Brandwatch Social Indices, ranking the strongest social presence of brands around the world. Each month the Brandwatch Social Indices will assess the social performance of brands across retail, non-profit, healthcare and TV networks industries. In the inaugural Index, Amazon, NPR, Kaiser Permanente and Netflix were hailed as social leaders in their respective industries. The full Brandwatch Social Indices can be viewed here.
The new Brandwatch Social Indices measure brands’ social performance across five fundamental criteria:
To create the indices, Brandwatch hand-picked brands that are well-established in their respective industries. The analysts at Brandwatch will assess and add additional brands to the indices monthly, as well as update the rankings based on the most current data and social performance. Additionally, over time, Brandwatch will be adding new industries to the Social Indices. The Brandwatch Social Indices are not presented as a perfect science; rather they are intended to provide CMOs and social leaders with a measure against which to benchmark their own performance and identify which criteria are most important for their specific business goals.
“Today, there is no definitive ranking of the best social brands in the world and, in truth, without a uniform methodology for measuring human interaction there may never be,” said Will McInnes, Brandwatch CMO. “We’ve created the Brandwatch Social Indices to encourage brands to think about their social strategies and spark conversations about how we, as an industry, gauge social interaction.”
