Know more with better information and better intelligence gathering

VMS’ extensive network of affiliates and partnership with BurrellesLuce gives us the ability to monitor and report on virtually every market across all media. Specify your search criteria and media mix and we can provide monitoring and quantitative analysis of media coverage of you and your competitors. You can get notification of relevant content or get content delivered to you in a wide variety of formats, including abstracts, article text, scanned clippings, audio/video clips and more – physically and digitally.

Our analysis involves a rigorous, daily process of media screening and reporting on media occurrence, tone, size/duration and more that are rated and compared against a standard internal rubric that can produce tangible numerical ratings and descriptions for you to evaluate your PR performance with.

What makes our analysis that much stronger and more unique is the human factor involved. When gathering your intelligence, VMS does not rely on digital and mechanical analysis alone, which can miss vital information and visual cues that closed caption monitoring cannot perceive.

Our editors and media specialists personally review all our media content in the top 50 markets, as well as your specified media mix, around the clock to ensure delivery of precise, relevant and actionable intelligence to our clients.

With continuous content updates and 24/7 service, you can rely on VMS’ analysis to provide you with the accurate, valuable information you need to evaluate, demonstrate and improve PR effectiveness.
