SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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.
