BURLINGTON, MA--(Marketwire -04/16/12)- Awareness Inc., leading provider of on-demand social marketing management software (SMMS), today announced a new weekly Social Scorecard. The Awareness Social Scorecard monitors week-over-week social media fan gains and losses by brands representing industries most actively using social media as part of their marketing strategy to determine who won the social media 'battle' that week. Social media winners from the initial Social Scorecard include Pringles, Monster Energy, McDonald's, Nike and Reebok. Pepsi's Twitter account is the only social property that decreased in followers.

The Awareness Social Scorecard tracks the social media performance of brands and companies in nine industries -- Airlines, Footwear and Athletic Apparel, Comics, Fast Food, Beverages, Celebrities, Favorite Foods, Hospitality Loyalty Programs, and Gaming. It reports weekly gains and losses to Twitter followers and Facebook fans, identifying the week's winners in each of the industries monitored and analyzing fan growth by channel and industry. It uses this data to identify notable weekly performances and attempts to correlate performance to campaigns and/or events.

The first Social Scorecard, released last week, reports social fan growth for from April 3-10, 2012. It shows all industries, except Airlines, are seeing significantly more Twitter growth than Facebook growth. It also identifies the most competitive industry/ network category for the week as Footwear and Athletic Apparel on Twitter, with each brand experiencing a growth rate over 1%, leading to a total category growth of 3.6%.

The brands selected for inclusion demonstrate a consistently high level of sophistication in their social media programs:

"Using the technology powering the Awareness Social Marketing Hub, the new Social Scorecard will encourage a little friendly competition among leading brands using social media by revealing which companies were the big winners each week," says Mike Lewis, vice president of marketing and sales for Awareness, Inc.
