Share of Search (SOS) is the most hyped marketing buzzword phrase of the past six months. Its advocates see it as marketing’s most important metric, a more relevant and practical assessment tool today than the traditional KPIs Share of Voice (SOV) and Share of Market (SOM). Holistic Analytics founder Tasman Murray agrees. Tasman describes SOS as a light-touch, high impact market share predictor. However, Forethought Executive Chairman Ken Roberts cautions that the act of searching is not causal and that SOS should not replace sound survey-based brand measurement. Listen for a fascinating Growth Colony debate between Ken and Tasman, facilitated by Mitchell Mackey, Fauto Group’s Marketing General Manager. Join the Slack channel: https://growthcolony.org/slack
