Why competitive monitoring matters
The term competitive monitoring is often viewed as synonymous with competitor analysis, but competitive monitoring embraces the entire environment and stakeholders: customers, competitors, distributors, technologies, and macroeconomic data.
Competitive monitoring is the process of monitoring conversations around specific phrases, words or brands, and then leveraging them to discover opportunities or create content for those audiences.
Competitive monitoring is as well the action of defining, gathering, analyzing, and distributing intelligence about products, customers, competitors, and any aspect of the environment needed to support executives and managers in strategic decision making for an organization.
Our competitive monitoring program includes installing a set of activities plus corresponding workflows.
