The Social Brands 100, launched by social brand agency Headstream in 2011, measures genuine engagement based on an in-depth study of a brand's content and behaviour on social platforms.
The data analytics behind the report are powered by Brandwatch, one of the world's leading tools for monitoring and analysing social media. Exclusive media partner, Brand Republic and its digital media blog, The Wall also support the ranking.
"Getting listed is a great way to show the world how your brand is performing in social, or to give recognition to a brand you think is doing it right," said Steve Sponder, head of agency, at Headstream. "We look forward to revealing the best 100 social brand performers in May and adding to the conversation about what makes a brand social."
South African brands are being encouraged to enter nominations through the Twitter account @SocialBrands100. To nominate any brand simply send a tweet to @SocialBrands100 with the brand name, and the hashtag #sb100. For more, go to www.socialbrands100.com.
