What’s the Buzz?
Welcome to the January 2014 edition of ZIndex – our monthly
look at the social conversation about brands and sectors
The month started better than it ended for some sectors,
Beverages and Food saw big drops in their ZIndex scores
The ZIndex for Fuel actually turned positive for the first
time, while Telecoms almost reached the positive mark
We are seeing more sectors achieving positive ZIndex
Scores, e.g.: Insurance and Property (for first time)
