Talkwalker Teams with Hootsuite, Providing One Fully Integrated Platform for Social Media Management and Analytics

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Talkwalker, a leading social data intelligence company, today announced a key integration with Hootsuite, the most widely used platform for managing social media. Talkwalker's market-leading social intelligence will now be integrated into Hootsuite's platform, providing joint customers with the first truly comprehensive social media analytics and management dashboard.

The Talkwalker App for Hootsuite will allow users to incorporate advanced social media analytics into social engagement and content development efforts, giving community managers, customer service teams and PR/Marketing executives the data they need to analyze and improve the execution of their overarching social media strategy.

A recent study¹ by global research and advisory firm Forrester Research, Inc. has found that social marketers using a single vendor for all of their social tools are significantly less satisfied than those using point solutions.  In fact, 36% of marketers surveyed feel misled by social suites that over-promise and under-deliver. Conversely, 92% of point solution customers believe that the platform they are using lives up to the promises made.

The combination of Talkwalker's cutting edge suite of social listening and analytics functions with Hootsuite's all-encompassing social media management features allows companies to create a centralized social listening and management hub that is scalable across all departments of the enterprise.

"Improving engagement rates is a key consideration for companies big and small – high engagement is an indicator of social ROI. Being able to incorporate advanced, real-time social data into interactions with social audiences will help companies really connect with their audience," said Talkwalker CEO Americas Todd Grossman. "In the non-stop world of social media, enterprises need to be able to react in real-time to customers, market events and crises, and our integration with Hootsuite will help them to do this quickly, easily and effectively."

"We've always enjoyed a successful relationship with Talkwalker and are excited about the integration. It enables our customers to engage across social in a meaningful and actionable way directly from the Hootsuite dashboard. The ability to get comprehensive social media analytics and up-to-date news is important to help marketers and other social practitioners keep their fingers on the pulse of their customers," said Kevin O'Brien, Vice President of partners at Hootsuite.
