ADLY DEBUTS ADLY ANALYTICS
Influencer Dashboard Helps Brands and Celebrities
Understand their Fans
Beverly Hills, CA – July 8, 2011 – Adly, a platform that monetizes celebrity distribution in social media, today announced the beta launch of its complimentary brand and celebrity influencer dashboard, Adly Analytics.
Now in testing with Adly’s top celebrities, Adly Analytics is designed to help top influencers manage and grow their audiences on Twitter. The simple, secure dashboard provides brands and celebrities with audience demographics and reveals:
- Top Mentions: which top influencers and fans are messaging you, mentioning you, and retweeting your content, so that you never miss a chance to engage.
- Also Follows: which other celebrities and brands your fans also follow, and how many fans you share in common, to better understand your fans’ interests. (We also reveal audience cross-over: how many of your fans are following a given influencer, and how many of their fans are following you.)
- Top Followers: which influencers are following you, and who your “Mega Fans” are (the ones with the greatest reach and potential influence) to better focus your attention.
- Follower Growth: the increase or decrease in your audience over time –- essential feedback that helps you manage your approach.
- Gender: the gender breakdown of your audience, and how it compares to that of the average Twitter audience, for greater insight into your appeal.
- City, State and Country: the geographic breakdown of your audience in your top 20 cities, states and countries, and how it compares to that of the average Twitter audience. This can help inform both online and offline promotions, advertising campaigns, tours, personal appearances, PR and more.
“Celebrities and brands have unique needs when it comes to Twitter,” said Arnie Gullov-Singh, CEO of Adly. “With such large audiences, they need help prioritizing their inbound messages and optimizing their outbound activity to keep followers engaged. The first step is to understand and energize your most influential fans. Adly Analytics addresses this need.”
Adly Analytics also addresses some of the account security concerns faced by high profile Twitter users. Celebrities and brands are able to grant managers, agents and staff access to their Adly Analytics without sharing their Twitter passwords. This enables teams to glean meaningful audience insights that can inform future planning.
