Cision Unveils the Next Generation Cision Communications Cloud, Designed to Empower Communications Teams

Following Its Most Recent Acquisitions, Cision Builds on Its Renowned Earned Media Management Technology with the Next Generation Cision Communications Cloud

Cision announced the next generation Cision Communications Cloud the company’s communications platform that delivers best-in-class earned media monitoring and analytics, improved influencer campaigns, and paid audience targeting. In January, Cision announced that it had acquired startups TrendKite and Falcon.io, providing the company with additional innovative capabilities. TrendKite’s powerful monitoring and analytics have been integrated with Cision’s comprehensive content, media database, newswire distribution, and business results attribution capabilities. This updated Cision Communications Cloud platform delivers an improved user experience, more intelligent and interactive reporting, and better campaign execution for PR and communications teams.

“This is an exciting time for Cision as we continue to evolve after our recent acquisitions,” said Kevin Akeroyd, Cision CEO. “By taking the very best elements from across our product portfolio, we’ve created an inclusive earned media management platform that sets us apart from anything else in the market. According to a 2018 Cision/PR Week Survey, 77% of comms professionals feel they could better measure the ROI of their work, and the next generation of Cision Communications Cloud is built to empower them to do so. We’re offering an end-to-end workflow, real-time insights, and the only communications platform that truly measures the value of earned media.”
