About this book

This book shows you how to use social media analytics to optimize your business performance. The tools discussed will prepare you to create and implement an effective digital marketing strategy. From understanding the data and its sources to detailed metrics, dashboards, and reports, this book is a robust tool for anyone seeking a tangible return on investment from social media and digital marketing.

Social Media Analytics Strategy speaks to marketers who do not have a technical background and creates a bridge into the digital world. Comparable books are either too technical for marketers (aimed at software developers) or too basic and do not take strategy into account. They also lack an overview of the entire process around using analytics within a company project. They don’t go into the everyday details and also don’t touch upon common mistakes made by marketers.

This book highlights patterns of common challenges experienced by marketers from entry level to directors and C-level executives. Social media analytics are explored and explained using real-world examples and interviews with experienced professionals and founders of social media analytics companies.

About the author

 April Ursula Fox comes from a background in business, general and social media marketing, data analytics, and educational psychology, delivering analytics solutions and specialized training to global organizations and marketing agencies around the world. With names such as Autocad, Oracle, Samsung, Peugeot & Citroen, Danone, Nestle, Ogilvy, Leo Burnett, Havas, among many others, April has expanded the understanding of data gathering and analysis with significant impact to the workflow and performance of data-infused teams.

Today, April is moving further into the educational aspect of her work, dedicated to studies in educational psychology and all of the components that affect human learning and growth. Within this new focus, April understands that despite our incredible technological evolution, there is still a key human component that will ultimately make or break the performance of an individual or a team. Such interest moves April into the pursuit of the understanding of the intersectionality of the components of the human condition, or how all aspects of our lives will affect us within different contexts of performance. These studies will likely inform our future technological developments, and the way we learn and become experts in using technology to enhance our living experience.
