Llorente&Cuenca and Corporate Excellence present the 3rd issue of Online Comments Analysis

Madrid. March 6, 2014. Llorente&Cuenca and Corporate Excellence – Centre for Reputation Leadership are presenting the 3rd issue of Online Comments Analysis, an analysis model designed for evaluating the impact of online messages on corporate reputation. This year 78,896 URLs, 45,063 references, 71 corporate brands and 16 industries were analyzed by 7 dimensions of reputation (Products and Services, Financial Results, Innovation, Workplace, Leadership, Governance and Citizenship). “The huge impact of new technologies has accelerated social changes that lead to more complicated relations between companies and their numerous stakeholders. The Internet turned everyone into potential producers of information”, says Ángel Alloza, the CEO of Corporate Excellence – Centre for Reputation Leadership, and goes on to add that “in this context, organizations should be aware that it is their responsibility to manage their reputation properly, making the most of those aspects that add value and correcting those aspects that are not welcomed by the public”. This year’s report highlights the fact that Consumer Electronics, analyzed this year for the first time, is the most popular sector by references and points to the fact that these references are mostly positive. “This good result is driven by companies’ efforts to launch innovative products and services, their easy adjustment to changes, business innovations as well as the ability to communicate a good organizational structure and clear vision of the future”, says Iván Pino, Online Communications Director at LLORENTE & CUENCA, Spain and Portugal. Hotels is among those sectors that experienced most significant changes by awareness as compared to previous years. It should also be noted that Oil and Gas companies saw an important improvement in the tone of their stakeholders’ comments - largely due to the companies’ ability to communicate their progress in the way they treat their employees. In terms of the profile of those users who publish their opinions and comments on the Internet, the report shows that “public opinion” drifted from neutral position towards more critical stance. Another important trend is the proliferation of journalists’ professional profiles in different networks. Journalists are the group that generates most information, especially with respect to such subjects as growth potential, profit, the quality of products and services and customer service. The report also shows that Google retains its top positions by awareness for the third year running, which means that this network generates best awareness results for companies. Besides, the quality of these comments increased as compared to the results of 2011 and 2012. About BEO BEO is a research tool designed to evaluate the impact of online comments on corporate reputation. The model has been applied to more than 70 organizations from seven countries. BEO methodology was included into the short list of the Digital Communication Awards 2013 in the category of Digital Monitoring and Evaluation. Full text of the study.

Semantic analysis: A revolution in communications

Internet is increasingly becoming a new channel for stakeholder-company relations. We find ourselves before a new information ecosystem, where the power of stakeholder opinion multiplies several fold. This has been one of the conclusions of the workshop entitled, “Semantic analyses, challenges and opportunities for managing communication and reputation in the online environment”, which has brought together the highest experts on the topic of Semantic Analysis with teams from the member companies of Corporate Excellence – Centre for Reputation Leadership. The high volume of information available, the immediacy with which it is disseminated, connectivity and content interrelations are factors representing significant challenges for managing and measuring the reputations of companies on the net. According to Miguel Lucas, Technologist and Consultant at Llorente & Cuenca, the same volume of information (5 exabytes) was generated in two days in January 2011 as from the beginning of time through to 2003. This volume of information, which is increasing all the time, is impossible for the human being to digest. For Lucas, it is essential to put machines to work, but to do so “we have to teach the machines to do things that they do not know how to do today or they do in a very constrained way.” Surfing on internet and identifying when, how and why a company is being talked about is a difficult task and although search engines are progressively incorporating language processing techniques, many of the problems this represents are as yet unsolved, making this a matter being addressed by many research teams worldwide. On this issue, Julio Gonzalo, a member of the Spanish National Distance-Learning University (UNED) Dept. of Computer Languages and Systems states that “for the time being we are actually unable to automatically understand the semantic meaning of a message, but we are getting closer and if we do manage to achieve this, we will be facing a revolution that would completely change the communication paradigm: Once we have that potential we will be able to assimilate all messages and extract new information”. Adolfo Corujo, partner and Online Communication Director of Llorente & Cuenca, discussed the project known as LIMOSINE (Linguistically Motivated Semantic Aggregation Engines), the most recent research in this field to progress in basic research into the analysis of online expressions and their applications in business, being undertaken by the NLP & IR-UNED Group, Amsterdam, Glasgow and Trento universities, Yahoo’s Barcelona Media Research and Llorente & Cuenca.

Corporate Excellence and Llorente & Cuenca Present The Analysis of Online Comments

The pilot issue of The Analysis of Online Comments (BEO) designed for analysing comments about organisations made on the web and estimating their impact on corporate reputation is the fruit of cooperation between Corporate Excellence – Centre for Reputation Leadership and R+D Llorente & Cuenca, The Centre for Ideas, Analysis and Trends at Llorente & Cuenca. The study identifies the main opportunities and reputational risk areas for a company, sector, dimension, stakeholder or online platform. More specifically, it sets forth results of an analysis of 32,000 URLs, 15,200 references, 41 brands and 11 sectors at such online platforms as the real-time network Twitter, social network Facebook, multimedia network Youtube and hypertextual network Google. The Analysis is a biannual study aimed at in-depth investigation of numerous opinions and spontaneous comments made about a brand by its stakeholders as well as its relation with the dimensions that constitute corporate reputation in accordance with the RepTrak™ model suggested by the Reputation Institute and developed jointly with the Forum for Corporate Reputation – the model that became one of the global standards for measuring corporate reputation. According to Adolfo Corujo, Partner and Director for Online Communication at Llorente & Cuenca, the study allows an organisation to identify the trends and anticipate their reputational impact. The idea is to find a relationship between the information published on the Internet and the reputation index Reptrak Pulse in order to incorporate these insights in the company’s strategy. Ivan Pino, Director for Communication at Llorente & Cuenca believes that companies still have a long way to go in order to build dialogue with their clients and adapt their contents to the hypertextual environment. Pino goes on to say that the results of the study show that Marketing and Communication departments of companies pay a lot of attention to the social network Facebook and post audio and video content on Youtube. However, the lowest evaluation scores have been observed in the hypertextual resources: blogs, forums, websites, news portals and other web formats. The conclusion is that the variables used in The Analysis of Online Comments(awareness and recognition) enable companies to estimate their positions on the Internet. It is important because today favourable positioning in the online environment with 2,000 mn interconnected users is key for improving reputation of companies.

Social Networks are a Good Source of Information about Brands, Say 54% of Consumers

Madrid, 20.03.2012. Social networks are changing the way in which consumers relate themselves to the brands. Out of 1,600 mn people currently present in social networks, 33% have a brand as a friend, 47% write about brands, 78% read the comments made by other users about brands and 80% use the Internet in order to find information about products and services before buying a product. These are some of the main findings of the study titled Digital Life, prepared by the consulting firm TNS and spanning 60 countries. The study was presented yesterday in Madrid to a panel of 20 leading Spanish experts in the field of brand management via social networks. According to the study, despite the fact that 54% of consumers believe that social networks are a good source of information about brands, 53% of the respondents say that the presence of brands in social networks is intrusive. This obvious contradiction is a great challenge for the brands, says Jordi Ferrer, Global Head Digital TNS. It is important to understand the impact of social networks on the purchasing decision, identify influential consumers in this channel as well as measure and optimise the performance of the brand in the most important contact channels. Digital Life shows that consumers use Internet at least 18 hours per week, and this amount is growing. Another relevant fact is that consumers became the main producers of content in the online world. According to Pedro Ros, TNS’s Chairman, “Digital Life is the most comprehensive analysis of behaviour and attitudes of digital consumers that has ever been conducted on the global scale”. The study breaks down the use of Internet into six categories or lifestyles: trend-setter, communicator, knowledge searcher, networks user, aspirer and functional user.
