CHICAGO, Oct. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cision (NYSE: CISN) today announced significant new updates to the next generation Cision Communications Cloud® – the company's communications platform that delivers best-in-class earned media monitoring and analytics, media and social influencer campaign management, multi-channel press release distribution, and earned media retargeting.
Today's updates include a range of improvements to the Cision Communications Cloud's Impact product offering. Cision Impact, first released in late 2017, is a suite of solutions that allow PR and marketing professionals to prove and build on the value of earned media. This includes the new Cision Audiences and Cision Activation. With the launch of Audiences and Activation, brands are now able to capture and retarget earned media audiences at the peak of their content consumption.
While Cision Audiences has been in an early access program since earlier this year, it is now widely available. Audiences helps brands identify and activate potential customers based on their earned media consumption for more than 2 million online sources, including articles, blog posts, and other content. With Audiences, clients can integrate earned media into paid and owned functions through comprehensive earned media analysis, persona creation, and campaign activation based on contextual media consumption.
"The latest Cision Communications Cloud updates continue to push the industry forward, firmly cementing the comms team's seat at the marketing table," said Kevin Akeroyd, Cision CEO. "Our early access Impact clients have already seen incredible results from their use of Audiences and Activation, boosting the performance of their paid media spend using contextual earned media consumption. We're thrilled to now be able to introduce these tools to the broader market."
