Session Details: Marketing leaders are drowning in data but starving for answers. Quarterly trackers arrive too late, social signals are too noisy, and the questions from the business don't wait for the next wave.
In this session, Sprout Social and Panoplai share how they built a continuous research engine that fuses tracker surveys, social pulse studies, and AI-powered synthetic enrichment into a single, always-on intelligence layer — one that answers questions in days, not quarters.
You'll hear how Sprout Social monitors the concerns of marketing professionals across the US, UK, and Australia on topics like brand safety, GenAI adoption, and digital marketing effectiveness — and how they use Panoplai's PDU to triangulate social signals against survey data, benchmark trends across markets, and spot inflection points before they hit the boardroom agenda.
Attendees will leave with: - A practical framework for building an always-on research engine from existing data assets - A methodology for fusing social and survey data to separate real trends from noise - Real examples of how AI can predict when an emerging topic is about to go mainstream
This session is for insights leaders, research directors, and marketing strategists who are ready to move from periodic measurement to continuous intelligence.
