Listen Up: Social Listening as Your Competitive Edge

In 2025, social listening is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. According to the State of Social Media 2025, nearly half of businesses in the EMEA region use social listening to monitor brand sentiment, benchmark competitors, and identify emerging trends. Yet, challenges like cost, bandwidth, and limited tools often prevent teams from fully unlocking its potential.


This is where Salesforce Marketing Cloud comes into play. Tools like Social Studio empower businesses to track real-time conversations, analyze customer sentiment, and predict trends using advanced AI. By integrating this data into your CRM, you gain a holistic view of your customers, enabling faster, data-driven decisions.
