Case Study: How Jack in the Box Identify Influencers in a Fiercely Competitive Market
Jack in the Box Inc, based in San Diego, is a quick-serve restaurant company that operates one of the largest hamburger chains in the USA. It boasts more than 2,200 Jack in the Box restaurants across 21 states and in Guam.
Founded in 1951, innovation and a pioneering attitude has always been at the heart of the company. Jack in the Box was the first major hamburger chain to develop and expand the concept of drive-thru dining and the business is now renowned for its burgers, breakfasts, tacos and more.
While we could write all day about Jack in the Box’s extensive menu of indulgent delicacies such as the Classic Buttery Jack™ or the Jumbo Jack™, we should probably get to the point.

Influencer Marketing
In an effort to gain a competitive edge on some of its main competitors, such as McDonald’s and Taco Bell, Jack in the Box made use of Brandwatch’s social analytics capabilities to help maximize the work the brand was already undertaking with influencer marketing.

Sentiment Analysis
Sentiment analysis is the process used to determine the attitude, opinion or emotion expressed by a person about a particular topic in an online mention.
