transcosmos inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President and COO: Masataka Okuda) and Solid Intelligence Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; Chief Executive Officer: Kei Maruno), a group company of Datasection Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President & CEO: Kento Hayashi), have announced that transcosmos analytics Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Yoichi Kawano), a wholly-owned subsidiary which specializes in research and analysis, and Solid Intelligence will form a capital and business alliance. Through this new partnership, the two companies will deliver high-quality social listening services by leveraging their respective strengths.

Various case studies have reported that Word-of-Mouth posted on social media and social networking services has material impact on companies’ business performances. In the ASEAN region, where smartphones penetrated the market more rapidly than in Japan, this trend is even more significant. Social listening is a method to collect and analyze real consumer feedback via social media and utilize the gained insights for future marketing activities. Social listening allows businesses to visualize and analyze customer reviews and comments on the company, brands, services and products and reflect the gained insights to develop consumer-centric marketing strategies. Ultimately, it enables businesses to grow sales and boost customer satisfaction (CS).

transcosmos makes an investment in Solid Intelligence through transcosmos analytics. By merging marketing and research know-how that transcosmos analytics has built over the years and social big data gathering and analysis capabilities that Solid Intelligence owns, transcosmos will deliver high-quality multilingual social listening services across the countries/regions shown below. Along with the formation of this capital and business alliance, Masashi Hagiwara, Director and Executive Fellow at transcosmos analytics assumes the position of outside director at Solid Intelligence.
