Know which story will land with which audience

Your job is the organization's footprint with the people who matter to it. Metisyne shows how each audience sees you, including the press, and lets you test an angle before the pitch goes out. Announcements land with the right people, and the quarterly report shows what changed.

For VPs of communications and PR managers.

The pitch

Pitches go out on a hunch


Next month's announcement needs an angle. You choose the one that feels right, build the media list from who covered you last time, and hope the trade press agrees.

Some pitches land. Too many go to reporters who don't cover the beat, or say what every other company in the category is saying.

At the end of the quarter, the report lists placements and reach. Leadership asks what changed, and how the people who matter see you now.

Where guessing creeps in

Every step of a pitch with the audience in view


01

Choosing the angle

The guess

The angle is picked on instinct, and the first real test is the reporter's inbox.

With Metisyne

Test two angles with your customers and media profiles, like trade press editors, and see which one each would read, and why.

02

Knowing who cares

The guess

The media list comes from who covered you last time.

With Metisyne

Media profiles show what each kind of outlet covers, what its readers ask and how they see you and your competitors.

03

Responding to a shift

The guess

A change in how people see you reaches you late, and the day goes into finding where it started.

With Metisyne

Horizon shows what pulled sentiment down and where it came from, so you respond with the reason in hand.

When leadership asks

Show the quarter's shifts and their causes


The quarterly report stops being a list of placements. You show your footprint with each audience that matters, how it moved and what moved it, each with its reason and its sources.

With Metisyne, the customer that Leadership describes is the same customer your team builds for.
