“You can have as many followers as you like on social media, but if you are not talking to them or vice versa, then the value of these numbers can be questioned. We want to understand more about our audience, why are they following us, where do they live, what do they want to see from us on social media, how do we make sure that they keep following, keep coming back, keep communicating. Once we understand the people following us, that's where value can be realised for all.”
