With the rapid increase of digital conversations the importance of not only listening to consumer generated content (CGC) but the analysis of this new data set is finally taking its place at the marketing research table.   I’ve seen better brand equity analysis from TNS/Cymfony who integrate their brand equity tool with listening.
