Use Case

This vigilance extends to government relations, where the ability to pre-emptively address discussions with lobbyists and government officials is crucial. Given their high volume of internal and external communications, the Beyond Finance team needed actionable media monitoring insights.

This includes trends in consumer sentiment and industry discussions to empower their brand storytelling, manage industry misinformation and anticipate legislative changes affecting the debt consolidation sector.
