Attentio wins Best Demo Award at ICWSM
One of Attentio’s newest product releases, Attentio Brand Maps™, achieved this accolade during the 3rd Int’l AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social Media in San Jose, California.
BRUSSELS, BE — June 9th, 2009 — Attentio, one of the fastest growing social media analytics and online listening companies, has received the Best Demo award. The prize, awarded during the International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM), in San Jose, California, once again recognized the effective visualization technique matched with leading edge algorithms created by Attentio that are used to help understand and detect relationships between brands and topics in social and mainstream media.
Every year, the highly respected Int’l AAAI interdisciplinary conference brings together researchers and industry leaders interested in creating and analyzing social media. Past conferences have included technical discussions from areas such as computer science, linguistics, psychology, statistics, sociology, multimedia and semantic web technologies.
“As a technology company providing a software as a service, (SaaS) it is so important to be recognized by your customers and peers for creating great new technology. We are particularly excited because the patent pending Attentio Brand Maps™ uses extremely clever technology “under the hood” but produces results that everyone can understand. The fact that we visualize this over time and for social media is a USP for Attentio. We are particularly proud to win this, given the event receives support from major search technology companies like Google and Microsoft” said Simon McDermott, CEO of Attentio.
In the past years Attentio has received awards from Red Herring and Euro-ICT and has been building up their client base significantly even in difficult economic conditions, said McDermott “People know social media redefines how companies communicate to people, added to this the increasing importance of measurement it is no surprise that this type of technology and service is increasingly popular with the world’s largest brands and agencies”
