Social listening in a crisis

It sucks, but this is the current reality we all face. The truth is that the social content you may have needed pre-pandemic may not be the same content that you need going forward.

Stephanie shares how you can use data from social listening insights and leverage it with other parts of your organization. She challenges you to think about how you can reach your customers with the right message in the right places where they’re spending most of their time on social.
