Summary    

No matter how you slice the data, social media is huge: 59% of the world’s population – or 4.76 billion people – use social media, and the average internet user spends 2.5 hours per day on social media platforms. Conversations taking place on social media cover almost every imaginable topic, and people often share their authentic, unvarnished opinions. Social listening is a way to tap into these conversations for insight on what’s important to your consumers – including brand likes/dislikes, competitive differentiators, and cultural signals that can help your brand or company stay relevant to your consumers.
