Benard Powers the "Social" in Social Media Week
New York, NY, February 23, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Benard, a company innovating in social curation & visualizations, was chosen as the official provider of real-time info-graphics last week for Social Media Week, the largest online and in-person global gathering of industry thought leaders and events focused on social media. This year’s event attracted nearly 40,000 attendees with over half a million connecting digitally via online conferences and mobile.
“Our platform was built to serve as that middle layer which solves big social data issues surrounding aggregation and relevancy with easy plug-in-play interfaces that enable the creation of amazing user experiences for any agency, content management system or blogger. The true innovation is that you can now leverage social media on your terms, not the platform's,” says Benard founder Vincent Mota.
Partnering with event organizers Crowdcentric, global headline sponsor Nokia, global media partner The Guardian, and the gamification agency Dopamine, Benard aggregated and curated over 235,225 mentions for 12 cities across 4 continents. During the event, their platform aggregated and displayed on Plasma TVs/Projectors & streamed online social content from 416 foursquare venues, 809 keywords, hashtags, authors, and trending topics from over 1,000 Social Media Week events globally.
“A huge goal of ours the past 2 years has been to compile, aggregrate and dynamically display global statistics and conversations taking place during Social Media Week,” said Brian Leddy, Chief Operating Officer, Crowdcentric & Global Operations Director of Social Media Week. “With the efforts and expertise of Benard, we were able to turn this ambitious idea into a reality. There is no doubt that the RealTime info-graphic tool played a critical role in not only fostering these conversations, but advancing them. Powering the data delivery was an highly complicated project that Benard was able to accommodate.”
The New York-based firm also pioneered innovations in social media with a suite of social curation tools used at this past January’s International CES in Las Vegas on behalf of consumer electronics giant Samsung.
