What is social influencer intelligence?

February 14, 2018

Written by Glossary Author

Social influencer intelligence is the way that marketers, advertisers and other analysts achieve insight into the impact of influential profiles on social media. Some of the metrics that are of interest in scoping out social influencer intelligence include post reach and frequency, engagement, audience demographics, and call-to-action impact. Having access to this type of intelligence makes it easier for media, marketing and communications professionals to understand how to reach different audiences with content and messaging.

To review social influencer impact, it’s necessary to have a clear view of the types of social influencers that you’re interested in tracking, as well as what you want to achieve in the analysis. Are you interested in finding out how many social media users are exposed to a particular influencer’s average post, or how many average shares an influencers’ brand partnership video receives? These are the types of evaluations that social media analytics make possible.

Social analytics tools such as NewsWhip Analytics allows users to understand the longer-term trends around the audience behaviour of individual social influencers, or by category. To learn more about social influencers and the role that they can play in turbocharging a brand’s reach, and access to audiences, check out the NewsWhip Guide to Social Influencers 2018.
