19. SO, WHAT DO THE CUSTOMERS SAY?
“With social data there is much more power to target
effectively....to then measure the results...and to then
make improvements, measure again and so on. It
allows you to continue advancing the results and
efficacy of what you do in ways that before were
either not possible or were very difficult and
expensive to do.”
