Zignal Labs Releases New Report: How to Know What People are Saying About Your Brand Online

By

Josh Ginsberg, co-founder & CEO, Zignal Labs

Zignal Labs, the only media analytics platform that harnesses the entire digital media landscape in real-time, released today a new report that explores what corporate social responsibility (CSR) means in today’s modern media landscape, where it’s going in the future, and why companies that jump on the bandwagon too quickly often fall right back off.

The data-driven report — 10 Ways to Find Your Brand’s Purpose — highlights the key metrics and winning strategies behind the CSR efforts at Starbucks, Salesforce, and Häagen-Dazs.

“With social media giving consumers and companies the opportunity to connect more intimately than ever,” the report highlights, “consumers want to support a company that not only aligns with their own moral beliefs and values but also allows them to participate, whether directly or indirectly, in perpetuating social good.”

Today, 93 percent of the world’s largest companies publish annual reports describing their CSR initiatives. Coupled with the growing number of savvy consumers, there has never been a more critical time for brands to examine and elevate their CSR efforts. Zignal shows us how and why.

  • 87% of consumers prefer to buy from companies that share their moral beliefs

  • 78% of today’s consumers expecting companies to take a stand on social issues

  • 55% of consumers are willing to spend more money to buy products from companies they deem to be socially responsible
