Reports: Online data

2023-04-25T13:43:26.946Z

We’re thrilled to announce that we have now released the second-phase of our unique hybrid data solution for websites.

Phase Two: What’s New?

Phase two is the latest in a series of enhancements to our sophisticated Reports tool, that ensures Ace Media continues to be one of the most reliable and accurate where it comes to measurement data.

Our new hybrid data solution delivers a combination of both accurate and estimated web traffic data. The accurate data has been gathered through a combination of methods:

website publisher
audit services
a direct connection with the publishers Google Analytics

For our web traffic data estimates, we’ve teamed with Semrush who are widely considered best-in-class where it comes to global web traffic intelligence.

Reports: Market + Scope

2023-04-17T21:26:47.457Z

We’re excited to introduce two NEW preconfigured metrics:

Market = The market most likely to read/view the media
Scope = The extent of area covered by the media editorially

These new insights will be responsible for categorising media coverage in the following ways:

Market	Scope
Consumer	Local
Business	Regional
	National
	International

Both insights will display on the report Analysis as donut charts in the user’s customised font style and accent colour.

Automation and data recollection

To improve report consistency and increase automation, Ace Media has enhanced its database capabilities. Whenever an offline media outlet is uploaded to a report, we will automatically assign the appropriate media type, market and scope.

When a URL is uploaded to a report, a user may configure these metrics manually. This contributes to Ace Media’s community data, which remains accessible for future uploads; increasing automation and reducing repetition.

Reports: Smart media classification

2023-04-17T21:26:22.045Z

We’re delighted to introduce smart media classification, which offers a more robust and streamlined approach to handling multiple media types and measurement metrics.

Smart media classification automates, refines and enhances the classification and categorisation of media, helping users create reports with greater speed and efficiency, whilst consistently delivering clean data!

The newly refined categorisation and classification of media looks as follows:

Offline	Online	Broadcast
Newspaper	News & Media	Radio station
Magazine	Guide/Directory	Radio programme
Supplement	Blog	Television station
Directory	Newsletter	Television programme
White paper	Digital publication	Podcast
Book	Newswire
Booklet	Other
Other

Whenever a URL is uploaded from a recognised newsletter, digital publication, or podcast host, Ace Media will automatically classify the media type.

Improved data handling for these platforms also helps prevent the display of inaccurate data, whilst ensuring the correct unit of measurement is accessible to the user.

Reports: Twitter data update

2023-04-14T10:46:03.812Z

Further to our notice published on 08 Feb ‘23, we have received a further update by email today (14 April) that our API has now been disabled.

Due to a lack of contact and information from Twitter, we have been unable to determine the best route forward.

As a result, Ace Media will be unable to deliver reader engagement data for online coverage uploads and tweets, for the foreseeable future.

Further updates will be posted as and when we have more news.

Pitch Pack: Google Analytics

2023-02-14T10:34:20.812Z

It has come to our attention that Google’s proposed move away from Universal Google Analytics and imposed switch-over to Google Analytics 4 (GA4) from March ‘23 will impact the data we are able to collect and display on Pitch Pack.

In order to minimise disruption accessing and responding to collaboration requests, we have made the decision to temporarily disable the requirement to link Google Analytics to Pitch Pack. As a result of this action, any pre-existing performance stats will no longer update.

We shall review this once Google has sunset Universal Analytics on 1 July ‘23.

Reports: Twitter data

2023-02-08T17:52:11.082Z

On 02 Feb ‘23, Twitter announced that they will no longer support V1.1 and V2 of their API. We expect the API to be disabled on 09 Feb ‘23 [UPDATE: an extension has been applied until 13 Feb ‘23]. Unfortunately, the alternative options promised by Twitter at the point of the announcement have not been forthcoming.

As a result, Ace Media will be unable to deliver reader engagement data for online coverage uploads and tweets, for the foreseeable future.

We are keen to minimise disruption for our users and are actively pursuing alternative options.

Further updates will be posted as and when we have more news.

Reports: Online Data

2022-10-27T08:50:04.927Z

Over the coming months you may notice some changes to the data that we display for online media. This has come about as we make alterations to our existing algorithm in preparation for our move away from Alexa web rankings (a service which is scheduled to sunset on 15 December 2022).

To ensure that Ace Media continues to deliver the most reliable data in the market we serve, we’ve taken measures that will enable us to deliver a unique hybrid data solution. This new approach means that users will benefit from a combination of both accurate and estimated web traffic data; ensuring that the data displayed is both dependable and authentic.
