1. How will this alliance help social wavelength?
We at social wavelength believe in using a 360 degree approach to provide all round social media support and this new partnership will help us with access to client data and strategies that have been successful globally. We will take our business to a global platform and will target better revenues too.
2. What is the USP of Social Wavelength?
There are numerous leadership verticals in the company that boost productivity and innovative content. Leadership at such a level helps in attaining robust targets with competitive environment. There is a director (strategy, communications) for every level who makes sure that the quality is excellent.
In today's time, brands are looking for maturity and not only content development. We try to fulfill the gap that other agencies fail to by listening to what consumers are talking about. We use a software called Radian6 and engage with consumers and track their opinion about certain brands or campaign, which is our asset point.
If other companies want to access this software, they will have to purchase rights from social wavelength.
3. What's the financial model of Social Wavelength? What profit ratio are you looking at?
We cannot divulge details of the alliance in financial terms but have a robust growth pattern of 16-18%. We have been growing steadily with our diverse platter of products for the social media market. JWT will provide us a platform to have international reach.
4. After the alliance, will there be merger of offices?
No, Social Wavelength will be an independent entity functioning on its own. There will be no shifting as of yet as our creative work needs an entrepreneurial atmosphere. Employees are extremely happy with the alliance as they are part of a larger organisation and will get to understand more about the business.
5. How do you think personally, will the alliance shape the future of Social Wavelength in the competitive social media market?
After pioneering in the social media field, this was a logical conclusion for social wavelength. JWT is a mainline media company and Social Wavelength's addition will provide integrated communications solution in India. JWT is a global leader with presence in USA, China among other markets and this will definitely bolster our success ratio.
