Move as fast as you can.

Social media moves at breakneck speed. Brands need a way to adapt rapidly. ListenFirst monitors all of your social signals in one place to give you the data you need to crush your social media marketing goals.

You wouldn’t make investment decisions with incomplete information, so why would you create social media content without the right technology?

Our Team

Just like our clients, we’ve been in the trenches too. We know the pain of having to stitch data together to have insights you can actually do something with. That’s why we built ListenFirst. We distill complex social media data into metrics that matter for your business so you can shape your social strategy and spend time where you can have the biggest impact.

Our Vision

It’s a challenge to make sense of the vast amount of data at your disposal. That’s why we started ListenFirst. Unifying all of your social signals in a single solution saves you time and gives your small team the capacity of an army. We identify the metrics that matter most, allowing you to fully optimize your social media to deliver positive ROI.

Our History

ListenFirst was founded to drive a future where data, not just instinct, helps guide the way brands make decisions. Founded in 2012, we have a dedicated focus on consolidating all of your social data into a single analytics solution so you can make the right decisions quickly. And, we arm you with an expert team of social media strategists who put you in a position to win.
