The next great evolution of social media marketing
Real-time social listening with a response time of seconds
The marketing community is a broken record about the Oreo Super Bowl Tweet, but it does, indeed, serve as a predecessor to what many brands are trying to accomplish on social: real-time listening and reacting. The theory behind real-time social marketing is that life moves too rapidly to simply be responding to consumers or events in hours or days. Within seconds of a consumer tweeting to you, they could have already have lost interest in the subject matter. Within minutes of a major world event, the social community moves on.
