Overall Satisfaction with Cision Communications Cloud
We do niche book publicity. The media database helps me and my assistant put together customized media lists for publicity campaigns for our clients. It helps us to search and pinpoint contacts and their information in a wide variety of media outlets that would be perfect for our clients. It saves us a lot of legwork.
- Customize searches by media type, location, and most importantly subject
- Able to use key search words to help narrow down results
- Provides key contact information we couldn't find otherwise.
- Keeping more on top of updates. Listings or contact information is sometimes out of date. We have been starting to send in more notices about these.
- We would like to see a separate media category for podcasts. The number of podcasts has increased dramatically over the last few years; many of them overlap with internet and radio, we would like to see them broken out in a separate category.
- Able to create customized media lists.
- Able to better target appropriate contacts.
- Able to find and organize media and contact information that would take a lot more time on our own.

- Utilizing the various categories to search and cross-search
- The keyword function
- The user-friendly layout and look
- Sometimes difficult to hone down search info
- Would like a little more info on a page when initial search list comes up so that I don't have to always click on the contact to open a separate page.
