What is Social Media monitoring?
Social Media have been gaining more and more importance for companies and brands for several years. Facebook has become one of the most important channels of communication and a core source of information for many consumers. Twitter is used to spread media reports and a means of direct networking with journalists, politicians and experts. Users write blogs about their personal opinions or everyday experiences in detail, and turn to likeminded persons in forums.

What are clippings?
Each article relevant to our clients is gathered and copied individually. Formerly, this part of the process was mainly carried out with scissors. Nowadays, we use state-of-the-art software solutions. On a digital basis, source information and additional data about the medium, reach or size are added to these clippings and then they are made available to our clients in a daily media review on the Portal and by e-mail.
