In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, data analytics is revolutionizing how organizations understand and influence public discourse. For non-government organizations (NGOs), leveraging insights from digital and social media platforms is key to driving impactful social change. By harnessing advanced analytics solutions—such as those offered by Pikasa—organisation can transform complex digital data into actionable strategies that foster transparency, counter misinformation, and promote positive societal narratives.  

Real-World Applications of Data Analytics in Digital Media 

One significant application is tracking propaganda narratives on digital platforms: In regions affected by conflict, propaganda and misinformation can shape public opinion and destabilize peace efforts. For example, an agency dedicated to peacebuilding and conflict resolution utilized Pikasa’s customizable digital media dashboards to monitor online narratives across social media, news websites, and forums. By analyzing sentiment, engagement, and reach, the organization was able to detect emerging narratives when negative or harmful propaganda about resocialized fighters began to gain momentum, gauge public reactions to discussions on the reintegration of former combatants, and develop counter-strategies that enabled its communications team to craft timely, data-backed responses while engaging with influential voices to promote balanced perspectives. 

Another practical application involves monitoring digital media engagement and public discourse: A media advocacy organization focused on human rights used Pikasa’s digital media analytics platform to track evolving conversations around social reintegration online. This comprehensive monitoring allowed the organization to analyze sentiment trends by observing shifts in public attitudes toward resocialized fighters, measure engagement by quantifying the impact of positive stories and public endorsements—especially noting spikes in engagement after strategic media releases—and shape future campaigns by incorporating these insights to highlight success stories and promote supportive policies for effective resocialization programs. 

Enhancing digital outreach and advocacy campaigns is also an area where data analytics proves invaluable: A nonprofit focused on social justice leveraged real-time data from digital media by integrating Pikasa’s campaign tracker into its operations. The organization could monitor campaign performance by tracking reach and engagement across various digital initiatives aimed at raising awareness about social reintegration, adjust strategies in real time by identifying which messages resonated best with online audiences, and generate detailed, data-driven reports that showcased the effectiveness of their digital outreach. This approach not only strengthened relationships with donors and partners but also amplified their advocacy efforts.
