In today’s complex digital landscape, marketers aim to capture the full voice of the customer by analyzing vast volumes of data generated across multiple social touchpoints, including posts, ads, direct messages, product discussions, brand mentions, and influencer activity.​ To gain meaningful insights and drive better decisions, marketers need visibility into three core data types:

1. Paid and Organic Data: Gain a deeper understanding of how audiences engage with your content and what drives their buying decisions. Paid data includes insights from promoted content such as ads, boosted posts, and sponsored media. Organic data, in contrast, reflects engagement from unpaid content that naturally reaches your audience.

   These data sets help you uncover -

   • People buying/engaging with your content and products.

   • How people interact with your brand through mentions and direct messages.

   • People engaging with your advertising and marketing campaigns.

   • Audience reactions to brand posts across channels.

2. Earned Data: Earned data helps you understand what people are speaking about your brand, content, and products when they are not directly engaging with your content. Earned data highlights -

   • Conversations around themes that matters to your brand.

   • People talking about your brands and products without directly tagging or @mentioning your brand.

   • Engagement from competitors or their audiences with your content.

3. Influencer Data: Understand how influencers contribute to your brand’s visibility and perception. Influencer data reveals -

   • Influencers advocating for the brand or its competitors.​

Ultimately, marketers are working to create a unified, data-driven view of customer behavior to optimize campaigns, personalize experiences, and demonstrate impact across the full marketing funnel.

Key Challenges Faced by Marketers

Despite the breadth of available data, acting on it requires breaking down internal silos and connecting fragmented insights. Brands often face three main challenges:

1. Siloed and Disconnected Teams: Paid and organic teams often operate separately, using different tools and metrics, resulting in misaligned strategies and inconsistent performance tracking. 

2. Fragmented Data Across Multiple Platforms: Different platforms define success differently. Without a unified framework, it is difficult to combine insights into a single, actionable story or measure overall performance across channels.

3. Limited Visibility into the Customer Journey: Without a centralized source of truth, it is difficult to track campaign ROI, engagement, and content effectiveness across all touchpoints.
