INTRODUCTION

Nexity
Industry
Real-estate
Nexity is one of the leading real-estate companies in France’s
property market. As a key player in the market, Nexity groups
together a wide range of products and services in the realestate business: purchasing, selling, renting, management,
finance, real-estate promotion as well as providing advisory
and support solutions. In January 2012, the brand adopted a
new position, bringing together all of its activities under one
name. The brand which is now much more exposed to the public
explains the company’s decision to implement an e-reputation
policy, which today has become essential.

THE CHALLENGE
The company’s e-reputation strategy is based on three clear
objectives:
• onitor and manage the company’s brand image on the
M
Internet
• Assist and support customer relations,
• Understand and anticipate trends, “hot” topics and their
status by adopting an ethical reputation management policy.
The challenge for Nexity is to quickly implement an effective
and efficient monitoring process to integrate “e-reputation”
within the company.
SOLUTIONS
Nexity chose AT Internet’s BuzzWatcher solution not only for
the fact that it is easy to use and the cross-functional features it
has to offer, but also for the range of services it provides beyond
the product itself, including content curation and dedicated
consultant assistance.
BuzzWatcher’s cross-functional features have been able to
provide Nexity with three different views at the same time, all
of which are necessary for the company to implement its new
e-reputation policy, including:

of BuzzWatcher is that
it offers three different
levels of analysis: an
overview, a focus on
the brand, and an
evaluation of customer
engagement.”

• An overview of the market and its trends thanks to a simple
approach and intuitive tool.
• An accurate brand vision thanks to the implementation of
reliable, automated monitoring.
• A client vision of Nexity’s products and services, through
continuous, real-time monitoring of opinions about the brand.
Each month data processing and content curation (studying the
tone used, possible elimination of noise, classification according
to themes which are specific to Nexity etc.) are carried out by a
dedicated AT Internet consultant, in line with the objectives fixed
by Nexity.
Finally, the quantitative and qualitative study (e.g. volume,
evolution, type of support, tone or even resonance) of words
makes it possible to both observe and study market trends, and
also to identify hot topics and cases for which the intervention
of a community manager is necessary.
Once compiled in a general report, the data is transferred to
Nexity management on a monthly basis.
THE RESULTS
BuzzWatcher has allowed Nexity to monitor many variables
such as the search for the most influential traffic sources,
the volume of media articles, and the brand’s share of voice
compared to competitors etc.
By analysing all of these metrics on a daily basis and producing
regular reports, Nexity has made major progress in improving
its e-reputation.

relations, and on working on analyses and reporting. The
time saved can be used elsewhere to enhance reports such
as improving the content and presentation, or by adding new

nstalling a culture of “e-reputation”
I
within the entire company
The professionalisation of Nexity’s successful e-reputation
measurements, thanks to the BuzzWatcher tool, has also been
a unifying element within the company. The data processing
procedures which have been implemented have empowered
the different teams working on common, cross-departmental
projects. As of now social media monitoring is no longer a task
carried out in isolation. When it comes to processing client
files, e-reputation not only involves community managers, but
also includes the Communication and Branding department,
industry experts, and services such as press relations, legal,
aftersales etc.
Nexity has been able to exploit the functionalities of the AT
Internet solution to manage its brand image on social networks
and has also been able to change internal attitudes on the
importance of a high-quality online presence. Its level of
maturity on the social web has also developed strongly.
