re-think media monitoring
Is media monitoring the way to go?
Media monitoring has long been an essential tool in every PR toolbox. It's complex and costly, and the data you get is only valuable when someone contextualises it.
What if there's another way? What if you could get meaningful insights without ever having to look at a monitoring platform?
That's where we come in. Imagine not ever having to set up a boolean search or deal with meaningless dashboards again, and instead having experts in communication tell you exactly what you need to know.

monitoring data
does not equal insights
For many years media monitoring has been seen as the sole solution to tracking and reporting on the success of your media strategies.
Raw data and AI-driven 'insights' just don't cut it and lack the real-world context needed to drive your strategy in the right direction.

FAQ
Consultative insights gives you two options for gathering your mention data and media clippings.
1. Provide your own data. If you wish to continue using media monitoring or other data collection services, you can continue to do so and use that data to go beyond the limitations of media monitoring.
2. Let a consultative insights provider collect it for you. Analysts use a variety of tools to ensure that all of your media data is collected accurately and nothing is missed in the process.
The main purpose of media monitoring is to track and monitor keywords related to your business to discover conversations about your business in the media.
Consultative insights is the next step in the process which goes beyond the data to drive actionable insights which can guide or validate your media strategy. Unlike media monitoring, consultative insights uses a real human expert to add context and dive deeper into the data.
