London 16-09-2009- Ray-Ban has selected BrandBuz by Activate Media to help monitor its Brand and products on the web.


Managing brand has never been more complicated. The Internet and
especially social networks makes the spread of information both instant
and borderless. This can be a boon for positive information, creating
the all powerful “word of mouth” marketing. Equally, negative
information can quickly spiral out of control if left to its own
devices.


BrandBuz is a web based tool that gives real-time “street level”
feedback of what the market is saying – and NOT saying – about a brand,
company, and products. BrandBuz aggregates and stores key word based
information from websites including: YouTube, Flicker, Twitter,
blogging sites and all the top news sites based on the specified
criteria.


Using a sophisticated web application, BrandBuz consolidates the
information into an attractive and easy to use “dashboard”, providing
real-time views of what people think. Additionally, BrandBuz gives a
statistical overview of activity and the ability to easily drill down
to specific areas and entries of interest.


Will Thompson UK Brand Manager - Ray-Ban said: “It’s increasingly
important to understand what is being said about your brand on the
Internet and in social networks. BrandBuz helps us quickly and easily
monitor, and potentially engage in, this dialogue. BrandBuz is
potentially the best value marketing tool we can use in a rapidly
changing environment”


Greg Rice of Activate Media said: “People take their sunglasses
seriously and Ray-Ban is the major brand in that space. BrandBuz gives
Ray-Ban a powerful tool to leverage Ray-Ban’s brand and products at the
“street-level”.
