  Monitoring, engagement &competitors To build audiences and brand recognition Advance should develop processes for monitoring campaigns. Access to a dashboard could enable different departments to devise, run and report on their own campaigns . We currently have the free version of ‘Hootsuite’ through which we can monitor activity on Facebook and Twitter. Accessing the paid version would give increased functionality and could provide basic ROI reporting and link to CRM in the future.
