opportunity to be better prepared,
then we’ll try to do it.

significant difference in social media.
you need to keep your eye on the hot
topics of conversation on each network
at all times - and as the level of social
media activity continues to increase,
this is becoming almost impossible to
achieve manually.”

they will be surrounded by teams who
analyse absolutely everything. They will
be surrounded by more machines who
will make decisions for them.
