Social Brands 100 - key stages


     • January to February - nominations are crowd-sourced via the
      @socialbrands100 account on Twitter

     • February to April - the long-list of nominations are shortlisted down to 100
      brands based on a Data Score compiled in conjunction with SB100’s social
      media monitoring partner, Brandwatch

     • April to May - an expert panel of judges scores each brand providing the
      Panel Score

     • May - final Social Brands 100 ranking is announced based on the combined
      Data Score and Panel Score, which determine Social Brand Score

Social Brands 100 - Methodology


    • The methodology is based upon three core principles of social brands -
         • Win-win relationships
         • Active listening
         • Appropriate social behaviour


    • Adopting these principles consistently creates positive effects in social spaces

    • These effects can be measured through a series of ‘observable markers’ of
     behaviour and interactions between people (including brands) in social spaces

    • The level of interaction indicated by each marker equates to a specific score

    • These marker scores are aggregated to create the Data Score

                              © Lawton Communications Group Ltd
Social Brands 100 - Methodology


    • The Panel Score is created by an expert panel of judges from the social media and
     digital industry

    • Each judge is asked to assess each brand across four categories
         • Value of the brand’s content to communities in social
         • Success in providing consistent and ‘always on’ community engagement
         •   Prioritising community needs over the brand’s own
         •   Success in creating a powerful overall community spirit

    • The judges are asked to assess each brand’s success in each area

    • The scores are aggregated to create each brand’s Panel Score


                               © Lawton Communications Group Ltd
Social Brands 100 - Methodology


    • The total points available for the Social Brands Score is 382.5

    • The Data Score accounts for 262.5 of those potential points

    • The judges score accounts for 120 of those potential points
