Learn more about your audience

Imagine you as a brand or agency are active on Twitter, but you have the feeling you should know more about your users and their interests. In this case, the “Twitter Mentions Overlap” metric would come in handy because it helps you to answer this question by providing further information on your Twitter users.

Our new metric creates a relationship map between Twitter accounts, which give you an overview of which other brands were mentioned by people that also mentioned your Twitter handle. The outcome of this metric tells us more about the interests of your active users.

Taking the data into action

So besides knowing which accounts our active users have been in touch with, we can now also tell you which “other accounts” have a closer relationship with your brand. To show you an example of these, let’s take a look at the “Twitter Mentions Overlap” results for Nikon.
