Reports: Enhanced 'Activity' editor

2024-03-23T18:07:07.094Z

We're pleased to announce an enhancement to the free-text 'Activity' field within our Reports tool. Our development team has equipped this field with an advanced editor, offering users an array of powerful features to elevate their experience.

With this enhanced editor, users now have the capability to modify text styles, seamlessly include tables, and incorporate superscript and subscript elements. This expanded functionality empowers users to create more dynamic and structured content within the 'Activity' field, enhancing clarity and usability across the board.

Whether you're formatting a detailed project update, documenting upcoming coverage, or outlining action items, the enhanced editor provides the tools needed to present information with precision and professionalism.

Reports: PDF settings

2024-03-13T10:09:56.546Z

Now you can configure your report coverage to link either to the original article, or the digital report.

Linking to the article: Ideal for reports with online coverage only.

Linking to the digital report: Suited to reports featuring both offline and online coverage, particularly for broadcast and social media posts. The interactive elements of our digital report enable users to watch or listen to the coverage.

Reports: Offline media

2023-09-01T20:27:36.678Z

To improve the user experience, we've upgraded the search function for our offline database and streamlined the process of adding new offline media outlets to our database.

The new functionality guarantees a significantly improved search experience, making it faster and simpler for users to find the media title they are looking for. Additionally, users now have the ability to create new media titles independently, eliminating the need to wait for the administration team to process requests.

Our intuitive administration controls ensure that when a new media title closely resembles or matches an existing entry in our database, all validated data seamlessly migrates to the newly created title. This ensures that users consistently enjoy precise metrics and reliable information.

For instance, if a user adds a new media entry, such as 'The Bristol Post,' which already exists in our database as 'The Post (Bristol)', we guarantee that all audited data seamlessly transfers to the newly created title, eliminating any data gaps. Furthermore, our team can include it as an alternative title, ensuring that the correct one consistently appears in all future search results.

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: Online data

2022-12-14T23:02:18.032Z

To ensure that Ace Media continues to deliver the most reliable data in the market we service, we have released the first-phase of our unique hybrid data solution for websites.

Phase One: What's new?

Until now, our proprietary algorithm has relied upon Alexa web rankings; a service which officially sunset on 15 December 2022.

As part of this initial phase, we have teamed with the world's foremost web traffic intelligence providers since 2008, SEMrush, to power our web traffic data estimates.

SEMrush is widely considered to be the best-in-class where it comes to web traffic analysis. Having only recently made their data resources available to third-party solutions, Ace Media is one of the first in the industry to be powered by them.

Users will be provided with the opportunity to alter the traffic reporting period between daily [recommended] and monthly.

NEW Customisation
