PR communications platform for media database research, journalist outreach and monitoring.
#3 of 7 in Digital PR by Overall Score
CisionOne supports communications teams with journalist and influencer discovery, outreach, real-time media monitoring, social listening, and analysis of earned coverage. Cision also connects distribution through PR Newswire, while newer AI Visibility dashboards monitor how brands appear in AI platforms, giving PR teams another signal alongside traditional news, broadcast, social, and online coverage.
CisionOne's Mention Streams can display separate searches for a brand and its competitors side by side. Its React Score flags potentially harmful coverage while alerts can be delivered through mobile devices and workplace messaging tools. Journalist outreach has an activity history that helps multiple communicators avoid approaching the same reporter independently.
Calculated from facts we verified on Cision's own website, using published thresholds. Nobody can pay to change it. Together with Market Signal it makes the Overall Score of 51 that orders our lists.
