RESTON, VA (PRWEB)

PublicRelay, the transformative PR software solution for communications professionals in Fortune 500 companies, the Federal government, and trade associations, today announced the introduction of a new Influencer Score to its product suite.

The PublicRelay Influence Score provides an instant view of the key people affecting an organization, assigning a score to each individual that reflects their impact on the discussion around the issues specifically relevant to that organization. This new accurate approach to influencer scoring gives communications teams a ranked list of the right people to engage on any given topic.

The Influencer Score is a major improvement over other offerings that base their rankings on irrelevant content and include celebrities who have large followings but little or no influence with the organization’s target audience. PublicRelay’s new score draws from the accurate statistics made possible by human-supported analysis of content and focuses on just those individuals engaging with the issues, brands, and organizations that are of particular interest to a communications team.

The new Influencer Score consolidates relevant factors from the media and the marketplace that together illuminate the key individuals impacting an organization. Some of the many statistics reflected in the score include:

  • Frequency of coverage or postings
  • Topical relevance to the client and to the industry
  • Social media prominence, including followers, sharing, and amplification of key messages
  • Reach and syndication of high-impact content across multiple platforms

“Integrating seamlessly with our influencer identification solution, the new PublicRelay Influencer Score provides a best-in-class measurement that incorporates company and industry specific factors” said PublicRelay Managing Partner, Eric Koefoot. “Companies can save time and resources by focusing their limited resources on just the right relationships, thereby increasing their effectiveness and ROI.”

Influencer identification is an integral component of PublicRelay’s suite of monitoring and analytics services that together deliver the most insightful, yet easiest to use, media intelligence for PR and corporate communications professionals.

PublicRelay, the transformative PR software solution for communications professionals in the Fortune 500, government, and non-profit sectors, today announced the launch of its Influencer Ecosystem. This new integrated feature provides sophisticated, actionable analytics about an organization’s influencers on their brand.

The Influencer Ecosystem delivers segmented analytics by topic and tone on the key people (“influencers”) who drive public opinion in the news and social media. This capability, unique among media measurement solutions, provides communications professionals with one-click access to an actionable list of supporters, detractors, and neutral parties – and their points of view — on any issue being analyzed. Equally important, it also identifies influencers who are silent on a topic but have written on it in the past. These “undecided” or “uncommitted” influencers are vital to media relations professionals who want to proactively manage their messages.

Unlike other offerings in the marketplace that identify these individuals by broad-based scores that ignore how issues and varied coverage impact organizations, PublicRelay’s blend of powerful technology and human analytics identifies the authors and sources that matter most based on specific topics for a specific company. The complete PublicRelay platform further breaks out influencers by media type, so communications professionals can now conduct 360 degree outreach across traditional, online, broadcast, and social media with ease.

“Not only does this innovative feature provide an accurate look into the external people who really matter to an organization’s brand, but it also delivers the macro analytics that PR executives can confidently show to the CEO,” said Eric Koefoot, PublicRelay Managing Partner. “This new capability reflects PublicRelay’s market-leading commitment to high-caliber, accurate, and actionable PR analytics. Our clients represent some of the finest brands in the world, and they value our ability to cut through the clutter and noise and give them reliable facts to act upon every day.”
