This type of measurement hadn’t previously been available for paid content in ListenFirst. 

“Marketers already know that Twitter is an effective platform for reaching passionate audiences engaging in real-time conversations and with the recent enhancements to the Twitter Engagement API, businesses have an even richer understanding of how they’re connecting with audiences,” said Lauren Jenkins, Global Head of Twitter Official Partner Program. “Brands now have a deeper and more transparent view into campaign performance on Twitter, and ListenFirst is one of the first Twitter Official Partners to unlock these new API capabilities.”

“Over the past 10 years, ListenFirst has earned a reputation for offering our clients highly differentiated cutting edge social media analytics, and innovation around Twitter analytics has always been foundational to this strategy, ” explained Jonathan Farb, Chief Product Officer at ListenFirst . “We proactively identify opportunities to strengthen understanding of social media performance, and the early implementation of Twitter’s v2 Engagement API is only the latest example of this commitment bearing fruit for our customers.”
