“Social media may be a big hit with consumers, but brands are not entirely sold yet on the potential of social media research – a state of affairs Conversition is hoping to change with a new data visualisation app.

The social media research agency today launched EvoPlay to encourage brand owners to explore the type of data available to them via the web.

Co-founder Tessie Ting said “there is still a lot of reluctance” to the idea of using data from blogs, forums and social networks – what the company refers to as “social media data” – in place of the more traditional market research data sets.”

Conversition Strategies launches EvoPlay, a consumer friendly social media exploration tool

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

For Immediate Release

New York, NY, July 23, 2010 – Conversition Strategies, the developer of social media research product evolisten™ and www.tweetfeel.com, has launched EvoPlay, a social media exploration tool for consumers.

Unlike evolisten™ which has been specifically designed for researchers, and tweetfeel which has been designed for  instant twitter analysis, EvoPlay is a free tool that consumers and brands alike can use to visualize sentiment across the entire internet space. Based on the most topical brands, the tool presents sentiment and conversation topics and provides a taste of social media research in a fun way. Sentiment can be displayed over limited time period allowing consumers to see brands rise and fall as marketing campaigns succeed and fail.

“The scientific principles of social media research can be intimidating, but this tool helps people see it in a more basic form by creating an engaging experience,” states Tessie Ting, co-founder of Conversition.  Jean Davis says, “This new tool will allow people to get inside the data and really experience what social media research is all about. Not just Twitter, not just Facebook, but the entire internet space.”

New Social Media Research Product to Enable Researchers to Now Ask & Listen

SAN FRANCISCO – May 11, 2010 – Peanut Labs, the leading provider of social media sample for market research, and Conversition Strategies, a boutique social media marketing research firm, have recently teamed up to offer SocialVoice, a new social media research product grounded in scientific fundamentals.

Developed to be the next generation of market research, SocialVoice allows researchers to scientifically measure opinions registered in social media. Designed by researchers with over 80 years of research experience, SocialVoice was built specifically with the needs of researchers in mind. It provides the necessary variables to transform unstructured social media conversations into data that mirrors traditional survey research data.

By incorporating techniques such as sampling, weighting, sentiment analysis and content analysis, SocialVoice takes advantage of processes that facilitate traditional research features. These techniques ensure that researchers can use both survey research and social media research in cooperation to enhance their product learnings.

“We are pleased to begin this relationship with Peanut Labs, a company that has proven it understands the importance that social media plays in the marketing research industry,” said Tessie Ting, co-founder of Conversition. “The fact that researchers can easily combine the benefits of traditional survey research with those of social media research is of utmost importance to us, and we’re happy that SocialVoice can be that uniting product,” adds co-founder Jean Davis.
