NEW YORK Interpublic Group continued beefing up its social-media capabilities, inking a partnership with buzz-tracking service Radian6.

The deal allows IPG shops, particularly its public relations agencies, to use New Brunswick, Canada-based Radian6’s Web dashboard to monitor conversations on leading social-media sites. The tool generates charts and graphs identifying influencers and gauging their conversations as they unfold.

“This type of tool becomes really critical [because of] the insight you can gather from being part of the conversation” as media becomes increasingly conversation based, said Bant Breen, president of IPG’s Futures Marketing Group.
