Page 6: Spredfast 2.0 Overview

2.0 Highlights – Analytics 2.0

We’ve moved beyond providing great metrics to providing great answers. All that analysis you used to do offline has been moved into our dashboard. We’ve covered the gamut from the key performance indicators down to content level reports, all in a customizable dashboard.

Page 7: Spredfast 2.0 Overview

2.0 Highlights – Salesforce

We recognized earlier than anyone that you have other systems you rely on to run your business. You want to be able to see data from all your systems together, so you can make the right next move. We’ve built complete 2-way integration with Salesforce, so you can see your CRM, web analytics and social data whenever you like, wherever you like.

Page 8: Spredfast 2.0 Overview

2.0 Highlights – Mobile App

You do marketing the right way, which means your people aren’t always in the office behind a desk. They’re in the field, in the right place at the right time, capturing the moments that make for great marketing. We’ve built an API and a mobile application that moves with you, so you can take that photo, video or live blog and publish it right away.

Page 9: Spredfast 2.0 Overview

2.0 Highlights – Places, Foursquare & Gowalla

The next big frontier in marketing is location-based marketing. We’ve done Facebook Places, Foursquare and Gowalla integration the right way, giving you the ability to create meaningful engagement opportunities at the physical places your customers meet you. We also give you the right data to take that relationship to the next level.

By Social AgencySpredfast is a Recognized Leader

“Over the last year, we have been closely tracking the market for social media tools. We’ve found there to be plenty of monitoring tools, with agencies and brands finding it hard to differentiate one from another. Further, we have yet to see providers go beyond listening to focus on execution—and specifically on managing campaigns with an eye towards measurement of impact and ROI. As such, Spredfast is playing in an important area of the market.” Trevor Oelschig, Bessemer Venture Partners

• Although there are many social media tools out in the market today, there are no others that:

1. Complete “system” vision (Engagement, Listening, Measurement, Initiative Management, User Profiling)

2. Focus on the enterprise customer sector (Support, Integration, Security, Customer Branding)
