Don’t you love when a company jumps on a hot topic for their own gain? Hey, who can blame? After all, that’s what it’s all about, right? Call it opportunistic marketing or whatever you want but everyone does it. Including WiseWindow which is out with its latest Mass Opinion Business Intelligence study examining the public’s sentiment towards Tiger Woods.
Mostly, the study set out to determine how the man is rehabilitating his public image and whether or not his sponsorship value can make a come back. Using web crawling techniques and cloud computing rather than keyword analysis, the methodology aims to discover unsolicited opinions. Which, when you think about it, is probably a whole lot more accurate than the spastic rantings you see on Twitter.
Anyway, according to MOBI findings, people are talking less about Woods’ infidelities and more about his golfing career, something Woods and his team are likely quite pleased about. But like all scandals, what’s really happening is that people are just bored with the topic and they’ve moved on. They will forget and before you know it, brands will, again, be begging Woods to pimp their products.
