Case Study Brief
The solution
Urinary incontinence is thought to affect millions of people worldwide. It mainly oc-
curs during certain life situations, e.g. pregnancy or menopause in women or pros-
tate problems in men. A long-time manufacturer of incontinence pads requested the
Replise Social Intelligence service to provide insight on how consumers perceive this
sensitive topic in social media, and whether or not the company should join the online
conversation. Furthermore, if they do join in, on which aspects and channels should
they focus, and what type of messaging should they convey? In the second half of the
research, we analyzed consumer indicators: Who buys these products? Why? Where?
For whom? In what quantities?
Incontinence, like many other health issues, is a very
personal topic. Most people prefer to remain anon-
ymous when discussing this type of topic, yet they
often seek advice on forums or in comments to on-
line articles. With quantitative tools, we were able to
identify the sources with ongoing conversations on
these topics. By analyzing the generated “big data”,
our experts were able to draw conclusions in an area
that would normally be difficult to study effectively by
traditional methods.

THE Results
Through our research, the client obtained valuable information about consumer behav-
ior patterns and motives related to the topic. Based on the several thousand mentions
in social media during the examined period, conclusions could be drawn on affected
people’s life situations and on the manner in which they mention this health topic. It
could also be shown to what extend brand names were mentioned in the online space.
It is now clear as to which channels can be best used to help consumers find profes-
sional solutions to their problems.
Based on our research provided by Replise Social Intelligence, the company has de-
cided to introduce a low-key, educational social media strategy primarily to be carried
out on anonymous websites.
