Meltwater, a leading global provider of social, media and consumer intelligence, today announces its Winter Release with new product enhancements that will help Meltwater customers be more efficient and effective through greater PR impact, better analytics and faster time to value.

The use of AI-powered solutions continues to have significant benefits for PR & Marketing teams looking to make an impact with content and campaigns that drive results. Meltwater’s soon-to-be-released State of Social Survey 2024 found that 58% of marketers are planning to increase their use of AI tools in 2024. The biggest gains reported as a result of using AI are saving time writing and editing, and improving content creation. At the same time, marketers are facing limited time, bandwidth and resources, making the opportunities for AI-powered solutions all the more relevant.

Meltwater has been listening to customers and discovering new ways to make their solutions more powerful and more intuitive, investing in product development based on these needs. The company doubled down on investment in its AI engine with a wide range of benefits that will save users time and effort across its suite of solutions including media intelligence, media relations, social listening & analytics, consumer intelligence, social media management, influencer marketing and more.
