WHAT WE DO

Our Social Media Analytics Command Center (SMACC) offers brands of all shapes and sizes access to information typically unavailable to all but the largest or leading-edge companies. Whether you're interested in reputation management, measuring campaign results, optimizing your digital content, or research, you need to effectively monitor social and digital media. This is more than tracking vanity metrics on your favorite social media channel. It means tracking all publicly available conversations across the globe from web sites, blogs, social media channels, and broadcast media. That's where UCONN’s SMACC comes in.

Through the Social Media Analytics Command Center, DMD students learn to provide insights, both historic and live, for clients’ brands. With five large screens that simultaneously host various social media listening and research platforms and live broadcast cable feeds, the SMACC can research all publically available social and digital media conversations globally using TalkWalker and other platforms. These capabilities enable DMD students to research political and human events, protect brand image, track social media campaigns, monitor crisis situations, and track live cultural events. Social media analytics is one of the fastest growing industries, and our DMD students graduate with the best skills, thanks to this innovative center.
