Misinterpreting Social Media | RBDR

June 27, 2017. Today on RBDR:

1) ARF’s Audience Measurement Conference discusses what marketers need to comprehend about the information collected from social media.

2) A study from University of California San Francisco says online recruitment for crowdsourcing is besieged by under- and over-representation of important demographic groups.

This week’s RBDR is sponsored by RFL Video Testimonial Service, bringing a research agency/vendor’s happy and loyal customers to life. Multiple versions of a highly loyal and appreciative customer’s video testimonials on your website can build your revenues and profits. It also builds perceptions about your products and services from an “AWARENESS” level to “CONSIDERATION” and to the ultimate goal, ADVOCACY.”
