Most brands do invest in “social listening” programs, from monitoring software to teams of analysts who scan the feeds in the hopes of muffling bad feedback and amplifying positive feedback. But what’s the real impact of such programs?

With social media users growing exponentially every year it is becoming seemingly impossible to manage your accounts manually.
