I started using social listening tools and saw firsthand how they could help shape more effective campaigns. HOST: Fascinating! And what would you say are some current industry trends when it comes to social listening and PR? GUEST: Well, real-time analytics is huge now. Brands want to react to trends and sentiments as they happen, not days later. Also, the use of AI and machine learning for more accurate sentiment analysis is growing rapidly.
