CHICAGO, June 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cision today announced a new Social Influencer Discovery module for Cision Communications Cloud® that enables comms pros to identify and develop relationships with social media influencers to gain earned media coverage on social channels. This feature makes Cision the first in the industry to offer a fully integrated comms platform that completely aligns both traditional media and dynamic social influencer capabilities.

"In a communications climate where PR professionals far outnumber journalists, social influencer strategies are critical to the success of communications programs," said Kevin Akeroyd, CEO of Cision. "By integrating Social Influencer Discovery into Cision Comms Cloud, we're helping teams to identify and target the right social influencers on Twitter alongside traditional media contacts. The emphasis is on helping comms pros create trusted conversations with the most relevant influencers."

Understand the most meaningful contributors to specific topics of discussion on social channels and identify the network of those individuals most influentially discussing those topics.
