We wanted to use our social sentiment analysis tool in a different form. Our customers often use our social sentiment tool to help better sense demand in the marketplace so that they can plan accordingly. For our Fan Sentiment Analysis, we employed the same technology for tracking keywords relating to the different teams. It's been fun, tracking the sentiment scores and fans that seem to show more excitement according to our sentiment analysis tool.

Building the Fan Sentiment Analysis Tool
The team at Arkieva set out to prove or disprove that Philadelphia fans are more excited about the Big Game than New England fans. To do so, they created a dashboard for tracking the sentiment of team fans using the company’s existing technology for tracking social sentiment.
“We wanted to use our social sentiment analysis tool in a different form. Our customers often use our social sentiment tool to help better sense demand in the marketplace so that they can plan accordingly. For our Fan Sentiment Analysis, we employed the same technology for tracking keywords relating to the different teams. It’s been fun, tracking the sentiment scores and fans that seem to show more excitement according to our sentiment analysis tool,” says Hellen Oti-Yeboah, Marketing Manager, Arkieva.
Sentiment Scores
The Arkieva Fan Sentiment Analysis Tool assigns a score to each tweet received for tracked keywords or hashtags, and then, assigns a positive or negative sentiment score based on the tone of the message. The sentiment scores rank from 0.1 – 0.9. The closer you get to 1.0, the more positive the message is deemed.
Determining the winning team for each day
The rules to win the excitement level challenge using the sentiment tool is as follows:
· A team had to reach the mark of 1000 posts within the given day
· And should have a sentiment score of 0.6 and above
