Written by Niels Bellaar on June 29th, 2010 | 3 comments

Obviously you know that social media is an important source for consumer insights around your brand. And you told your bosses already over a year ago to stop shouting and start listening. While many brands heard about the importance of social media monitoring, only a few are actually taking it very serious. Gatorade is one of them.

The sports drinks brand teamed up with Radian6 and IBM and built a variety of data visualizations and dashboards.
