Would it be valuable to understand how your messages get amplified on social media and drive website actions? How about to see whether your competitors are using identical or similar messaging?

NEO Messaging can give you that insight by tracking the performance of your designated soundbites across all news sources worldwide so you can quickly see which messages are resonating with both the media and your target audience(s).

It’s about controlling the narrative.

  • Across the marketing funnel: NEO shows the business impact of each soundbite and key message across the entire marketing funnel. With NEO, you understand not only which messages had the highest pull-through and which spokespersons have been mentioned the most, but also which ones were amplified the most across social media, drove the most website traffic and generated the most website actions and conversions.
  • Automated & unibased: NEO offers automated, unbiased, data-driven feedback for understanding which brand messages should continue to be incorporated into future marketing and PR efforts and which ones need to be dropped.
  • Real-time: NEO tracks soundbite performance in real time, allowing you to take advantage of search’s “fresh and relevant” content rule and ride the wave of the current trends that apply to your brand.

With NEO, you can measure your message pull-through from an article all the way through to conversions on your website and get automatic insights for optimizing your messaging strategy and controlling your narrative.
