A concrete example of a commercial application of community detection using Twitter data is strategic support to a company that wants to trade in a new geographic region. To enter a new geography a company must understand the competitors, customers and marketing channels in that region. Our system allows them to extract this valuable information by providing the Twitter handles for their existing products, key people, brands and endorsers. In real-time, they can receive the accounts closely related to their company filtered by that market. The output is automatically structured into groups (communities) such as media titles, sportspeople and other related companies. Analysts examine the results, and our real-time system allows them to interactively explore the network by changing the input accounts. We show a high-level illustration for an alcoholic drinks brand in Fig 1.

As with any other marketing campaign, social media marketing depends on careful strategy and planning, all designed to produce the public appearance of natural, positive brand communication. Because the end result looks so effortless when done well, businesses that are less experienced in the digital marketing world tend to underestimate the amount of effort that goes into each well-managed account.
In-house social media management is a realistic possibility for organizations that have a fully-functioning marketing department, well-developed strategic goals, high-quality content, a clear and market-tested brand voice, time and resources to produce effective multimedia material, as well as trusted personnel to act as the face of the brand in real-time online interaction.
Social media can be an unforgiving space for companies that enter unprepared. Each of the aforementioned behind-the-scenes elements must be strong enough to support the social marketing campaign, or else the entire effort could fail.
