Key findings

  • 96% of the FTSE 100 companies have a corporate presence on LinkedIn with a combined 2.6...

The corporate social media accounts of the FTSE 100

One of the most challenging aspects of researching for our recent Social Media in The City report was identifying the 400 URLs and social media accounts needed to assess the performance of all FTSE 100 companies. It's made even more difficult by companies who do not provide obvious links from their consumer-facing websites to their 'corporate' ones, let alone provide links to their Twitter accounts, Facebook pages and YouTube channels,...

In between crunching the numbers for our epic 'Socialympics' report, in the last couple of weeks we took a look at how effective the leading US retailers' social media activity was during the critical 'Back to School' period. MaryLee Sachs, CEO and CMO of our US partner Changing MO LLC, summarised the findings last week. Here's our take. Yet again, we find that the most powerful brands (i.e. those with a...

Which of the big PR agencies are most social?

PR agencies sell their clients advice on how to 'manage' social media. But how good are they at doing it for themselves? Our view is that big agency networks offering social media advice must walk the talk. Those that cannot show they know what they are doing for their own brands will lose out in the battle to advise others.

So, to see how some of the world’s largest PR agencies stack up, we have, for the...

Objective social media metrics for agencies

Coca-Cola, BA & adidas top Socialympics scoreboard as sponsors change gear

As the athletes start arriving for the London 2012 Olympics, sponsors' activity has become more prevalent. To reflect that we've changed the basis for our London 2012 Social Scoreboard, starting today. The result has been some apparently dramatic changes at the top. From 18 April, 100 days out from the Games, we started tracking the effectiveness of this activity using our PRINT™ algorithm, later creating the London...

The Final Sprint to London 2012

As we approach the last two weeks before to the London 2012 opening ceremony, marketing activity from the official Olympics sponsors shows no signs of letting up. Quite the reverse, in fact, as new campaigns are announced daily. It's a far cry from the situation we faced when we started our social media performance tracking on 18 April, with only a handful of brands having activated...
