Key take-outs: ■ In measuring views, likes and shares, marketers can report on the additional reach that social media creates, also claiming engagement
■ However, going viral is not enough, the volume of social media activity cannot tell you whether your communications are delivering the objectives set for the campaign
■ Meaningful engagement on social media is not a numbers game
■ For any campaign to deliver long-term brand benefits, it needs to change the memory structures associated with a brand in a way that is likely to influence future purchase
■ Making influential memories depends on a deeper level of engagement – and to understand and influence whether that happens, we need to look at social media differently
■ We can start to evaluate the long-term impact of social campaigns by focussing less on the volume and more on the shape of conversations that campaigns create
■ By assessing the shape of social conversations provides an early warning as to whether a campaign is delivering long-term benefits
