SEAT selects Brandwatch to power innovative social intelligence and analytics practices

Social analytics and monitoring platform to support car manufacturer’s social business strategy across multiple departments in six regions

NEW YORK and LONDON, 06 June 2013– Brandwatch, a global leader in social media analytics and monitoring, today announced that SEAT, the innovative Spanish automobile brand and member of the Volkswagen Group, have selected the Brandwatch platform as it rolls out a company-wide strategy to further embrace social business.

Chosen from a list of 35 vendors, Brandwatch emerged the ideal partner due to its unrivalled global language support and data-quality capabilities, as well as providing a flexible and scalable platform that can be distributed seamlessly across the international business.

The platform will be used by multiple areas of business at SEAT to track social activity and inform decisions across internal operations as well as the customer lifecycle—including human resources, public relations, brand reputation, online communications, digital marketing, customer service, market research and product development.

“Thanks to our extensive research, we’re confident that our close relationship with an accomplished vendor like Brandwatch means that instead of managing and investing in lots of solutions to gather social media intelligence, we can trust one platform to help us perform better holistically as a business” said Txema Garitano, Social Media, Search and Analytics Manager at SEAT.

“We’re seeing an increasing number of brands approach us with a wide range of business needs when facing the move to become more intelligent with social” said Giles Palmer, CEO at Brandwatch. “By offering a platform that excels in not only tracking online conversation and behaviors, but also offers the flexibility to be applied to varied business functions such as customer service, PR and marketing, we have the ability to give clients a solution that can continually meet their social analysis needs as they grow and evolve”.

Specific innovative uses of social analytics that SEAT is pioneering include plans to ensure its design-driven, dynamic and young-spirited messaging aligns with the consumer perception of the brand, as well as a strategy that complements traditional research methods during the development of new car models.
