We're not just interested in understanding how our own posts perform, we want to know what the larger conversation looks like. Second, with the automation, we are able to automatically pull data into our own internal dashboards, which is incredibly valuable from a time perspective."

Just loop Meltwater into your desired endpoint and get access to the industry's largest media source base, associated metadata and historical archives.

Testimonials

Lauren Hackett - Senior Vice President Global Communications, The Economist

"One of the biggest challenges we had was putting that all together into a comprehensive, insightful presentation that would allow us to really have a clear picture of where we are across the board, also a deeper dive into the insights from there. Previously we had numbers, but we didn't know what was behind the numbers."

Nate Haken - Programs Director, Fund For Peace

"We produce an annual assessment called the Fragile States Index, which appears in Foreign Policy magazine. We spend a massive amount of time scanning millions of articles and extracting Excel spreadsheets. We were thrilled to know Meltwater could take our 8000-plus Boolean search strings and upload them into their platform. Meltwater streamlines our research process, saving us valuable time."

Lauren Hiznay - Account Manager, Goodman Media

"Meltwater gives us the resources of a big agency while still allowing us to be the nimble and creative and quick-adapting team that we are."
