Presentations
Interactive Presentations allow you to easily take the data you've gathered from our best-in-class database and turn it into a professional, interactive, on-brand report that can be shared with stakeholders to highlight the impact of your PR efforts.
This feature is exclusive to our Premier subscription; please contact your Customer Success Manager if you would like to upgrade your subscription.
