The strategic relationship will equip brands with the tools they need — from insights to action — to remain attuned, responsive, and adaptive to market trends and audience shifts.

As each is a leader in a Forrester report—Talkwalker, a leader in The Forrester New Wave™: AI-enabled Consumer Intelligence Platforms, Q3 2021, and Khoros, a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Social Suites, Q3 2021 — brands now have the advantage of an integrated enterprise solution delivered in one seamless buying and user experience. Ultimately, this allows brands to reduce costs, increase revenue, and deliver better customer experiences.

Khoros customers are now equipped with in-depth insights through deep listening. Additionally, Talkwalker customers have the opportunity to leverage an integrated social media management solution with tools to take action on insights at scale and the ability to thoughtfully engage with and meet customers wherever they are. Through unified workflows, the partnership provides the following advantages:

• Holistic view of all customer conversations: With visibility across owned and earned conversations, closely monitor buying behavior, conversations around competitors, and a real-time understanding of brand health to remain competitive.

• Powering thoughtful engagement: By combining the ability to monitor and respond to customers all in one place, brands can more quickly foster strong customer relationships by delivering relevant content and creating authentic real-time conversations.
  

• Unmatched data coverage: Data is gathered across more sources (e.g., social, print, TV, online, first/third party, etc.) with 90% data accuracy to make critical business decisions.

• Actionable insights with leading AI: Brands can take action on the strongest insights delivered through customizable dashboards, simplified filtering, powerful reports, and sophisticated visualization in real-time.
