Mile High United Way uses Cision’s Media Monitoring for print and broadcast coverage
CHICAGO, October 16, 2013—Cision announced today that it has signed Mile High United Way as a new customer. Serving the Denver metro area in three focus areas: School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult Self-Sufficiency, Mile High United Way is using Cision’s media monitoring software to comprehensively monitor print, social and broadcast coverage and display their media activities in an easy-to-use dashboard.
Mile High United Way—who were dealing with the problem of finding a tool that both extensively monitors media outlets and displays media activity in an accessible dashboard—has now seen a drastic improvement in their monitoring results.
“Monitoring has improved, especially for broadcast and print media, and Cision’s charts and maps feature will help us create visually pleasing reports on activities,” says Matthew Vermillion, Digital Marketing Manager for Mile High United Way.
The solution Cision offered to Mile High United Way was one that focused solely on the needs of the company. The organization was previously with a provider that wasn’t meeting its monitoring and reporting requirements. Now, with Cision’s media database, broadcast, social and print monitoring; Mile High United Way is now positioned to find and report on all their coverage, timely. And Cision’s exclusive relationship with LexisNexis®, offered with the media monitoring platform, also gives access to more comprehensive print content.
“Cision offered us a comprehensive media monitoring solution, along with a vast range of capabilities for analysis, reporting and media outreach,” says Vermillion.
