"We founded Brandchats in order to address a growing concern in the enterprise that studying sentiment and social conversations around a brand is not enough. Today's enterprise must be agile and responsive in real time. An effective social media strategy should empower those that need to be aware of online conversations with this ability. Karl's vision of a socially engaged enterprise aligns perfectly with our strategies."

Brandchats will kick off their USA launch by hosting a series of webinars highlighting many of the pioneers in Social Business strategies. The focus of the series is to share different strategies for socially enabling your business and how to apply these strategies. The first webinar guest is Kurt Shaver of The Sales Foundry and his webinar is February 21st.

"We are honored to be hosting great minds like Kurt, Jeb Blount of Sales Gravy and Mark Fidelan the author of Socialized," says Karl, "Our goal is not merely to bring Brandchats social media monitoring solutions to market, but to build a coalition of like minded individuals that can help enterprises catch up with the social consumer."

"Today, consumers are looking to their peers and to the unlimited amount of shared information online. Our midsized to large institutions, as leaders of the entrepreneurial spirit, must adapt and develop better paths to managing these demands. The social networks are not merely here to stay but an important part of our communication in the 21st century."
