There is a new generation of consumer data: social data. Social data is anything and everything collected from social network profiles and behaviors i.e. sharing activity, gender, interests, birthday, etc… And since social media is here to stay, accessing this information has never been more important.
In fact, 97% of marketers surveyed by Wildfire believe that social media is an integral part of their business model and marketing strategy. However, what most companies don’t realize is that they can tap into the vast amount of data contained in the online social footprints that consumers leave behind. Utilizing this data to maximize marketing output and increase ROI is called Social Data Strategy.
The following diagram illustrates the role that social data plays in the marketing strategy process.

As you can see, social data provides powerful insight into the consumer. Information such as interests, location, job position, and sharing patterns provide companies with a complete view of each and every customer. This type of consumer intelligence might inspire a new product, help with the messaging of a radio campaign or simply help communicate to customers in a more meaningful way.

Andreas Weigend, Professor at Stanford University and former Chief Scientist at Amazon identifies this time as aRevolution of Social Data because it “fundamentally alters the relationship between buyers and sellers” forcing marketers to think differently. At the foundation of a social data strategy, Weigend states that a marketer must:
- Address each customer as an individual, not as a target.
- Design campaigns to encourage social sharing.
- Recognize how social data influences decision making, everything from how to create and sell products to how you acquire and lose customers.
