MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH NEWSMIND INSIGHT
Convit BY KEVIN EMMOTT
Combining strategy and analysis with content production, media software specialist Convit is launching its Newsmind Insight feature.
Aiming to transform the way media companies handle data and engage with their audiences, Newsmind Insight software harnesses cross-media data from a variety of sources, including TV, radio and social media. It collates both structured and unstructured data to make all information easily available for content teams to assess and manage,
with the goal of giving media organisations a more holistic view of their performance and audience behaviour, as well as to recognise trends earlier. Newsmind Insight is designed to work with Convit’s existing Newsmind Stories planning and publishing system to effi ciently manage and analyse data across multiple platforms. Understanding that each media company has unique requirements, Newsmind Insight features are completely confi gurable to each organisation, and the company is encouraging potential users to discuss their specifi c needs at the Hall 7 stand. 7.D01
