providing a fully integrated communication solution that responds to the needs of today’s communicators, while managing the complete end-to-end communications process, the CNW Group aims to redefine the “distribution only” business model.

The Changing Role of the Communicator

CNW acknowledges that the role of the communicator is constantly changing and evolving to meet the needs of an evolving audience. As well, journalists and public relations professionals struggle with an intensified workload.

Public relations professionals need to provide more than just basic information often found in press releases. News media need multimedia — whether it’s photo, a video or social media and as a result, PR contacts need to start incorporating this into their package for reporters.

Streamlining the Communicator's Workflow

Because today’s public relations professional manages a constant and unpredictable communications demand, CNW’s newest platform empowers clients to streamline their workload. With MediaVantage, clients can perform a plethora of meaningful tasks within one secure, online environment, including:

  • Identify issues and monitor emerging trends
