When it comes to social media, brand personalities often play out across platforms - Some brands identify with their audience’s fun side, like Showpo’s playful posts and Telstra’s partnering with a pop group, while others like Domino’s, Air New Zealand and Nationwide Insurance offer information on various platforms that add value to their audience’s social streams. Whichever direction a brand’s creative strategy leans towards, social media can help them achieve a wide range of objectives, as long as it is leveraged with clear goals.

28. The Unmetric Score has two components - the Audience Strength and
the Engagement Score. The Audience strength represents the size
(share of market, presence) of the brand within the social network, and
the Engagement score represents the brand’s engagement with
customers (interaction, velocity). These components are built from a
number of underlying metrics including (but not limited to) Total Fans,
People Talking About, Engagement of brand, Sentiment of posts,
Number of Admin Posts, Fan Growth rate for Facebook. These metrics
are run through a number of statistical filters (normalizing across the
sector, normalizing variances between metrics, outlier filtering, weighted
averaging etc) to produce a single benchmarkable score.
The number is normalized to give brands a score between 0 and 100.
Hypothetically, the best performing brand within the sector is assigned
a score of 100. All other brands within the sector are scored relative to
this. The scores are unique to each sector and cannot be compared. A
Score Of 80 in the Aviation industry is different from a score of 80 in the
Banking industry.

Audience Reception Rate
Engagement is the measure of audience responses to a brand's content and
activity on a social network.
To calculate the engagement score, we weigh audience interactions on brand
content such as Likes, Comments, Shares or Favorites, Replies and Retweets
based on their importance. We then divide their weighted sum by our estimate of
the number of brand fans and followers who actively receive and view such
content.
The default Unmetric values for x and y are 5 and 10 respectively.

Audience Reception Rate
The Audience Reception Rate (ARR) is the Unmetric estimate of the
number of brand fans/followers who stand to actively receive and view a
brand's content.. The formula you see below calculates the Audience
Reception Rate as a function of the number of brand fans/followers
raised to a fixed power value of 0.8.
