Cision helps your story rise above the noise.

According to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, PR professionals outnumber journalists seven to one1. This imbalance, combined with the ever-increasing fragmentation of the media landscape, makes it more challenging than ever for your PR and strategic comms teams to capture attention from journalists and influencers, and coverage in the publications and media your target audience trusts.

Cision Communications Cloud's media database is essential for media relations work. Reporters frequently change jobs and don't always share their contact emails, so getting in touch with them can be incredibly difficult at times. Having one place with an up-to-date list of all the reporters that I need to interact with empowers me to do my job more effectively.
