Social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have had a dramatic impact on the current business environment. Brands no longer have the luxury of controlling what they want potential customers to see or read about them as social media has empowered consumers to generate content which could affect the public perception of a brand, it has also given these consumers access to a global audience. This has facilitated a power shift from businesses to the consumer.
Social media has amplified the voice of the customers who can now share their pleasure or displeasure with millions of people all over the world. Although the power tilt is mostly in the favour of the customers, businesses can still capitalize on social media to improve their brand image & trustworthiness, engage with customers, support them and access valuable feedback. In this post, I will share 5 ways businesses can ensure their brands always project a positive image on social media.

We held an offsite today. As our team expands, it’s important to connect and learn from each other, and this was one of those rare opportunities.
Engagement Lead Kathleen Hoski led us in an exercise to review our past journey maps, discussing and aligning on best practices. As she led the discussion, something interesting happened.

According to a survey by Forbes Insights and Pegasystems that covered more than 200 U.S. executives, 88% of leaders have created a position responsible for customer engagement in the past 12 months. When taken seriously by companies, customer engagement creates an amazing opportunity for businesses to get to know their customers, build long-term relationships with them, and ultimately enhance their business performance.

Whether you’re using a chatbot, NPS or another means of collecting customer feedback, you will need a reliable solution to be able to analyze the data you collect to be able to decipher insights in the right context. Verbatim, or free-text responses can be notoriously hard to analyze, which is why Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods are used to ensure correct analyzation. At Thematic we use NLP and (Machine Learning) ML in addition to our own AI which we’ve developed to analyze verbatim feedback responses.
Many companies collect vast amounts of customer data but simply don’t know what to do with it or how best to derive meaningful insights from it. Is this your company?

Numerous studies on customer experience (CX) highlight the crucial role company culture plays in delivering a great customer experience. Yet very few casino operators have addressed cultural issues in their endeavors to improve customer experience.
Organizational culture, simply stated, comprises the values, norms and behaviors that determine the social and psychological environment of the organization. While virtually every gaming company has the word “customer” in its mission statement and values statements, the operational ethos of the workplace is often at odds with the stated mission and values.
