As social media has shown vast growth during past years, there is a growing need to monitor what is going on in social media and analyze the ongoing digital discussions on different platforms.

As a result, Infomedia has entered into a partnership with Whitevector, one of the pioneers within the field of social media monitoring and analysis. With the new collaboration, Infomedia’s clients will be able to follow the conversations and discussions that take place in social media.

I see Whitevector as a very strong partner. Not only does Whitevector have a wide-ranging source base, it also offers unique possibilities for the measurement of social media in an easy-to-use self-service tool. There is no doubt that this collaboration with Whitevector will put Infomedia in a very strong position when it comes to monitoring social media,” says Morten Viktor, Vice President Development at Infomedia.

Whitevector is also looking forward to the partnership that will provide both companies with clear advantages in the Nordic market in the future.

“Whitevector is excited about the collaboration with Infomedia which will give us a stronger position in the Danish market. Infomedia’s expertise and profound customer relations offer a fantastic platform for leveraging Whitevector’s knowledge about monitoring social media in the Nordic region,” says Tommi Lehtonen, CEO at Whitevector.

New clients, partners and seminars

August 25th, 2011 by Whitevector

The autumn is here, diaries start filling with meetings and evenings become increasingly chilly. Whitevector has increased pace during last weeks and there are some news we’d love to share. We’ve started co-operation with tens of new clients, including Valio (a large dairy producer), ISS (global B2B service company) and Nelonen (Finnish TV channel). We’re proud and happy to start working with new companies!

We’ve been also increasingly active in Nordics and will announce news regarding this later in the autumn. We are publishing several new partners, of which Finnish customer feedback company Etuma is the first one. Press release can be found here. In addition, we will be presenting our experiences in at least two seminars. In November our CEO will be speaking in the IJMR Research Methods Forum taking place in London and he will also have a presentation at the Customer 360 event in Helsinki. In addition to this we will also be arranging client seminars.

Best Autumn wishes,

Whitevector team
