ListenFirst Announces Launch of Instagram Promoted Analytics

Combines Instagram Paid and Organic Owned Insights, In One Easy To Use Interface

NEW YORK, April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — ListenFirst, the most comprehensive enterprise social analytics solution, today announced their platform has added tracking Instagram data from boosted or “Promoted” ad units. Combined with the existing feature capturing “Dark” ad units on Instagram, ListenFirst now provides a complete view of Paid performance on Instagram across every key metric including Impressions, Clicks, Engagements, 95% Completed Video Views, and Spend.

ListenFirst’s Instagram Promoted Analytics also simplifies the problem of complex native reporting, as Instagram Impressions and Video Views metrics throughout the ListenFirst platform now include both Paid and Organic activity. For brands that need to better understand current owned performance and competitive benchmarking on Paid campaigns, this side by side analysis of Organic vs. Paid content performance enables quicker and more decisive optimization. 

“Across verticals as varied as Beauty, Retail, Media & Entertainment, Publishing, and CPG we’ve consistently seen the desire for a deeper understanding of how Organic and Paid content are performing in concert with each other on Instagram,” explains Jason Klein Co-CEO & Co-Founder of ListenFirst. “With the addition of Instagram Promoted Analytics, brands can optimize social media spend allocation and better identify ineffective cross-channel campaigns, while consolidating their use of analytics tools.”

“Historically, brands have been unable to view analytics around the Paid and Organic versions of a post at the same time within their Instagram account,” added Jonathan Farb, Chief Product Officer, ListenFirst. “ListenFirst’s Instagram Promoted Analytics finally addresses that pain point. By better identifying the factors that are most contributing to ROI, answering critical questions such as how to increase video views while maximizing spend has never been easier.”
