John Barber Rebecca, hi. Social media marketers want to go beyond views & CTR to measure sentiment, virality, peer influence. What do u use 4 that?

Genna Weiss How can I best transition myself into a social media market research analyst role? I'm somewhat familiar with using Google analytics, as I leveraged the tool while working as an online content editor. But how can I prove that I have demonstrated experience with interpreting data, performing quantitative and qualitative analyses? I would much appreciate the help!

Jenn Pedde Welp. I pretty much got laid off today... have until the end of the year so plenty of time to prepare. Looking at this as a huge blessing in disguise because it's about that time in my career where I take my skills and grow. Looking for community management style jobs in NYC or Denver. Would entertain all though!
