– Pet owners who are interested in pet insurance.
– Baking lovers, who watch the Great British Bake-off.
– Football fans, who are looking for a new internet provider.
• Create marketing content that is relevant to them.

We’re launching a new product targeted at professionals
who work in rough surfaces, such as:
– Construction Workers
– Welders
– Electricians
– Mechanics
– Plumbers
It would be nice to be able to find a list of these
professionals’ twitter handles. And to know which type
of content would be most effective for turning them into
customers.

launching a new

How to find relevant content
• We now have a list of expats to invite.
• We now have a query that effectively tracks down EVERYTHING that
these expats post on Twitter.
• We can use Brandwatch Analytics to find marketing content that is
relevant and appealing to them by using a few different dashboard
components:
– Twitter Insights
– Topics Cloud
– Entities (top hashtags, individuals, organisations)

What to look out for
• Watch out for sarcasm
• Choosing authors who have posted few times about their profession or
status
• Exclude retweets (NOT raw: “RT @”) when trying to find your target
population.
