Cision Media Monitoring

Cision Communications Cloud Media Monitoring is more than simply counting your mentions.
You can identify trends, understand the impact of your strategies, and make informed decisions about the actions to take for your messages to resonate.

Know what is being said about your organization and why it matters

The average US adult spends more than 11 hours consuming media every day. All the content being produced about your company, executives, products, and industry influences your target audiences’ impressions—and dollars spent.

You need to be able to see all of your coverage from around the globe and across all media types (on-line, print, social, broadcast and more)—while also being able to confidently identify which stories are the market-movers and making the most impact on your reputation.

Cision Communications Cloud Media Monitoring enables you to go beyond counting mentions. You can easily identify trends, understand the outcomes of your strategies, make data-driven decisions, and influence the right media contacts—no matter what article or type of content is driving your company’s reputation.

It is an easy-to-use tool for PR and media monitoring. You can create a dashboard the way you want. Editing and making searches are easy, and you can save them! The customer service is helpful and responds quickly. Also, it is easy to sort out the clippings, and you can tag them to keep an eye. I like that [Cision tries] to improve and reach me to ask for opinions. Feedback is essential for these tools to improve, and they seem to take it seriously.
