Fancy working with me on a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project in collaboration with Coup Media (funded by Innovate UK with support from the Welsh Government)?
A KTP Associate position is available to develop an adaptable social media analytics engine and associated framework for the film and media industry to capture consumer insight, marketing perceptions, sentiments, trends and rankings using big social media datasets. With the explosion of social networking, there is a clear correlation between box office takings and sentiments, opinions and perceptions expressed in the public domain on social media platforms. This project aims to leverage this by developing an extensible and adaptable social media sentiment engine using big social datasets (initially targeting Twitter) to rank movies by opinion, informing industry marketing decisions and providing commercially valuable insight into the public’s emerging movie tastes and selections.
This is an 11 month position, with a pro-rata salary of £21,000. For informal enquiries, please drop me an email: tcrick@cardiffmet.ac.uk; further information and how to apply can be found on jobs.ac.uk and the Cardiff Met website.
Deadline for applications: Friday 19 June.
