Monitoring conversations and distilling the relevant from the irrelevant is the first step in understanding your customers, competitors and the market. Here at Surge, we use a combination of tools, technologies, processes and highly talented individuals to assist you in monitoring your brand s presence online. Leverage these conversations and make decisions that drive your organization forward. z1ajsnfaosjndasfja22nflasfalnsjflajnsflaj#5 u636w;6w,3lw6w3o6waijtosjkn3ufhjtitjrsagsra N#56j1AJSnFAOSJmarketj22nflasfaLNSJFLAJNSF j#5you636w;6w,3lw6w3o6waijtoskn3ufhjtitjrs sraon#56jz1ajsnfaosjndasfja22nflasfalnsjfla NSFlaj#5you636w;6w,3lw6w3o6wAIJTOSJKN3uf titjrsagsraon#56jz1ajsnfaosjndasfja22nflasfa SJFLAJNSFlaj#5you636w;6w,3lw6w3o6wAIJTOS z1ajsnfaosjndasfja22 N3ufhjtitjrsagsrAON#56jz1AJSnFAOSJndasfja22n asfalnsjflajnsflaj#5you636w;6w,3lw6w3o6wa nflasfalnsjflajnsflaj JTOSJKN3ufhjtitjrsagsrAON#56j1AJSnFAOSJnda 3 channels a22nflasfalnsjflajnsflaj#5you636w;6w,3lw6w #5you636w;6w,3lw6w 536 mentions o6waijtoskn3ufhjtitjrsagsraon#56jz1ajsnfao 3o6wAIJTOSJKN3ufhjti ndasfja22nflasfalnsjflajnsflaj#5you636w;6w w6w3o6waijtosjkn3ufhjtitjrsagsraon#56jz1aj tjrsagsraon#56j7o6n nfaosjndasfja22nflasfalnsjflajnsflaj#5you6 w;6w,3lw6w3o6waijtosjkn3ufhjtitjrsagsraon# 6jz1AJSnFAOSJndasfja22nflasfaLNSJFLAJNSFlaj# you636w;6w,3lw6w3o6waijtosjkn3ufhjtitjrsag AON#56j1AJSnFAcompetitorsfja22nflasfaLNSJFL JNSFlaj#5you636w;6w,3lw6w3o6wAIJTOSKN3uf titjrsagsraon#56jz1ajsnfaosjndasfja22nflasfa SJFLAJNSFlaj#5you636w;6w,3lw6w3o6wAIJTOS N3ufhjtitjrsagsrAON#56jz1AJSnFAOSJndasfja22n asfalnsjflajnsflaj#5you636w;6w,3lw6w3o6wa
