AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--W2O Group, an independent global network of leading communications counseling firms, today announced the creation of a strategic partnership with the location based social monitoring leaders from SnapTrends, Inc.
"The most important paradigm shift for companies over the next 3-5 years will be centered on their ability to identify insights in real-time that can shape behavior and transactions anywhere in the world," said Bob Pearson, W2O Group president. "We call it “forensic analytics”, since we sift through mountains of data for the right clues that are combined with our models to provide a unique advantage for our clients. To achieve that objective, it is essential we utilize state-of-the-art listening solutions, which is why the SnapTrends location based monitoring capability represents a significant step forward for us."
W2O Group companies conduct daily listening for leading brands and healthcare, technology, consumer and entertainment companies worldwide. The partnership will match W2O’s market leading social analytics consulting methodology with SnapTrends innovative listening technology.
"Our goal is to combine our location based listening technology with W2O’s analytics expertise and create a partnership that can improve how companies engage with customers via social media," said SnapTrends CEO Eric Klasson, "Social data enhanced by the context of location has been a missing link for many businesses. Our Software-as-a-Service and Service Bureau solutions are a big step forward as companies work to formulate and execute effective social media strategies."
SnapTrends delivers an innovative location-first listening solution backed by an intellectual property portfolio, enabling organizations to listen over specific locations of any shape or size to better understand and effectively engage with customers.
The first new products from W2O and SnapTrends will be previewed at this year’s W2O Group Social Commerce Summit on March 7th.
