Online conversations never stop. They persist indefinitely and can re-ignite after months of inactivity. Social media monitoring tools help companies identify brand mentions to get ahead of potential problems before they turn into full-blown crises. But brand monitoring is a lot more than problem detection. It's an opportunity to gain customer insights.
