Social Media Listening
Build stronger campaigns and make smarter strategic communications decisions—with real-time, around-the-clock insight into consumer and influencer conversations.
Why do you need social listening?
For PR and communications teams, social media is the ultimate double-edged sword. It gives consumers unprecedented power over your organization’s reputation. But it also gives your team unprecedented potential to understand how messages are resonating with target audiences.
Think about it: For years you’ve wanted to learn more about how customers’ opinions, perceptions and sentiments are impacting your organization. Now, instead of sending out surveys and hoping people respond (and respond truthfully), the data you need for deeper insight is within reach—in the billions of conversations happening on social networks.
If your team is like most, you don’t have the time and resources to effectively monitor millions of conversations for insights. That’s why social listening is indispensable. A good social listening tool keeps your team informed, in real time, about critical changes in what consumers and influencers are saying about your brand. It applies analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to uncover the ‘why’ behind those changes—is there a customer service issue emerging or are you part of a positive trend? Cision Social Listening provides you with the tools and insights you need to respond at the right time, in the right way, to avoid crises, fend off competitors and protect and strengthen your brand.

On social media, where consumers and influencers generate huge volumes of content every second, it’s critical to be able to quickly identify and monitor issues that can escalate into a crisis.
