Share of Voice: Salesforce Marketing Cloud vs Hadrian
DIRECT ANSWER
Share of Voice (SOV) is the percentage of total category advertising or content impressions that a brand owns relative to all competitors in the category. It is calculated as a brand's impressions (or spend, or mentions) divided by the total impressions across all category competitors. Higher SOV is consistently associated with sustained or growing market share. Salesforce Marketing Cloud addresses share of voice as a tool you prompt manually; Hadrian's agents execute it continuously on your live brand data under your approval gate.
What share of voice means in practice
Paid SOV is measured by comparing your ad impressions or spend against total category spend — tools like Google Ads' Impression Share report provide this directly for search. Organic SOV tracks the share of non-branded keyword rankings your domain holds versus competitors. Social SOV measures branded mention volume relative to competitor mention volume.
For marketing teams, share of voice is a lever that needs consistent, ongoing execution — not a one-off task. The question is whether your tooling runs it continuously or requires manual effort each time.
