"We know that content lies at the heart of every social media marketing strategy today," said SOCI CEO Afif Khoury. "The key is being able to put technology to work by leveraging data to score, rank and recommend high-quality, metric-tested content that drives audience engagement at a cost any SMB can afford—and MeetSOCI does just that. Making San Diego Venture Group's 25 COOL Companies in San Diego this year is a great affirmation that the marriage of our vision and technology is having a significant impact on the industry. We are extremely proud to be honored."

At the core of SOCI is a proprietary technology called SOCI Digger™, which, with the platform's IMPACT algorithms, is able to crawl social media platforms and, using Big Data solutions, harvest contextually accurate social content for companies operating on the MeetSOCI platform.

The company reports that clients have seen, on average, a 250% increase in engagement rates at a lower cost compared to management using first-generation social media platforms like HootSuite and SproutSocial, while a suite of tools allows for everything from custom designed creative assets, such as cover images and post images, to implementing and launching campaigns such as sweepstakes and contests, feed monitoring, and white-labeled client reporting.

SOCI leverages social data to score, rank and recommend high-quality, industry-specific content that has been proven to engage fans within targeted verticals. The highly intelligent content solution is built into a full enterprise social media solution for service providers, agencies, and others that manage social presence for clients. SOCI is based out of San Diego and is incubated at EvoNexus, a prominent tech-focused incubator located in downtown San Diego. For more information, visit the company's site at www.meetsoci.com.
