Description

Ever wondered how a wave of customer requests can spark a brand-new Reese’s flavor? This week on the Social Media CX Podcast, I’m joined by Paige Walker from Hershey’s—and this one is extra sweet.

Paige, Manager of Cultural Intelligence & Trends, takes us behind the scenes of how Hershey's evolved from reactive social care to a full-blown cultural listening machine. We talk about:

  • The actual ROI of social listening
  • How AI tools like Quid and Viral Moment uncover hidden trends
  • Turning TikTok videos and Instagram DMs into campaign strategy
  • The Reese’s + Oreo story that proves consumers are co-creators

Whether you're deep in CX or still getting buy-in for better customer care, this episode will have you rethinking how your brand listens.
