Crimson Hexagon, a leading provider of social data analysis to inform strategic enterprise decision-making, today announced new customers such as AB-InBev, Fender, Zappos and Virgin Holidays, an employee count that doubled to 200 in the last year, and recent product enhancements focused on image analytics, emotion analytics and machine learning, continuing to provide the most comprehensive array of functionality in the social insights market.

Organizations are looking for deeper, more meaningful insights about their consumer base. An enterprise-wide demand for these insights has shaped Crimson Hexagon's offerings and increased its focus on reaching business users at every level of a company by empowering ease of use, innovation and the ability to disseminate insights on a global scale. In addition to Fender, Zappos and Virgin Holidays, new customers recently added to the company's roster include the U.S. Department of State, FanDuel, Tabasco/McIlhenny Co. and John Lewis. Across the customer base, the amount of average users per account has doubled, with 33 percent increase in net promoter score (NPS) for top accounts.

"Crimson Hexagon helps us elevate our use of social data to better understand consumer preferences and opinions, which allows us to relate to our customers in a more meaningful way," notes Bethann Autery, marketing manager of digital analytics, Anheuser-Busch.

Crimson Hexagon's recent employee expansion includes the executive appointments of Justin Khaksar, previously of Localytics and Brightcove, as managing director and senior vice president of EMEA and APAC, and Jeannine Lombardi-Sheehan, previously of LoJack (News - Alert) Corporation and Dunkin Brands, as chief people officer.
