CASE STUDY

Arizona State University

The Challenge

Arizona State University (ASU) came to O.Y.E. to understand more about multicultural students’ attitudes and interests when it comes to selecting a college. The largest university in the country was specifically interested in performing social listening on what were the main concerns and topics of discussion among both Spanish-speaking and bilingual Hispanics. Overall, the university wanted to better address their college-going audience and create strong marketing strategies across digital channels.

Our Approach

O.Y.E. technology was used to provide critical details into the interests of Hispanic students through their own statements about university selection decisions through online conversation. O.Y.E. was set to monitor Hispanic online conversation daily to see how Arizona State University marketing activities influenced over-arching goals, including share of voice (SOV), sentiment, and more.

RESULTS

Due to O.Y.E.’s social listening efforts, numerous insights of value were discovered. For instance, it was found that the majority of Hispanics spoke in English about universities. This observation provided guidance into the language of content ASU should use to attract future students.
