"MP+ Analytics is the latest example of how we are providing straightforward and intuitive tools that enable our PR clients to quickly and efficiently gain important insights from social and mainstream content through the use of industry leading big data technologies.

Talking to our users, it was clear that we needed to provide a range of tools to provide real-time insight into key social media and mainstream news scenarios, as well as the flexibility to allow users to "explore" the data for themselves, even adding their own tags and metrics to ensure that they can effectively track and measure against their KPIs."
