LONDON, 14th October 2011 – Cision, the leading provider of PR software, services and tools for the marketing and public relations industry, today announced a new feature that enhances its CisionPoint software. The new feature, called “Cision Social Publish,” underscores the importance of social media in public relations and marketing campaign management by implementing a social publishing element.

Through Cision’s partnership with PitchEngine, Social Publish easily distributes all types of branded content to social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

“Our users can directly interact with customers, digital influencers, media and other important audiences through CisionPoint,” said Yann Blandy, CEO of Cision Europe. “Marketers can now reach their target audiences by sharing branded content through Social Publish. This new feature also helps drive results by offering the opportunity for increased web traffic, brand recognition and, ultimately, more sales.”

The Social Publish dashboard will provide users with several benefits:
- Publish unlimited stories, videos and photos on the PitchEngine site
- A Facebook application that allows users to simultaneously update their company’s or brand’s Facebook page newsroom with branded content
- The option to integrate newsfeeds on the user’s company website
- One low monthly rate regardless of how much content is published

“Our partnership with PitchEngine allows us to bring a convenient, content publishing tool to our clients,” said Blandy. “The combination of PitchEngine and the Social Publish feature on our Cision platform will enable our clients to tell their stories in a new way by distributing them through multiple social media channels.”
