Social media has become an integral part of daily life over the past decade. As a result, influence across social media platforms has become a crucial element of business models. A strong presence across an array of platforms can help increase positive visibility for brands, allowing them to reach new audiences and engage their existing customers.

According to Ben Dickie, Senior Manager, IT Research at Info-Tech Research Group. "Social media has rapidly become a ubiquitous channel for customer interaction. Organizations are using social media for use cases from targeted advertising, to sales prospecting, to proactive customer service. However, the growing footprint of social media initiatives - and the constant proliferation of new social networks - has created significant complexity in effectively capturing the value of social. Organizations that are serious about social manage this complexity by leveraging dedicated social media management platforms. These platforms provide comprehensive capabilities for managing multiple social media networks, creating engagement and response workflows, and providing robust social analytics. Selecting a best-fit SMMP allows for standardized, enterprise-wide capabilities for managing all aspects of social media."

The indicators separating the Emotional Footprint Champions from others in the category are the exceptional scores in service experience, conflict resolution, negotiation and contract, strategy innovation, and product impact.
