Create A Key Message Report

  3. View your report and adjust as needed.


Navigate a Key Message Report

If you want to track key message pull-through for an organization or brand, such as Cigna, you can include the organization name as your base term and enter your key messages as phrases or keywords and generating a Key Message report.

From your report, you can quickly determine which key messages are mentioned most often within media coverage and how coverage of your key messages has gone up or down over time.

💡 TIP: We recommend selecting your base term in the Key Messages Over Time widget to get a better view of your data.

Select any Key Message from the Key Messages Summary widget to open a list of all articles that mention both your base term and that key message within the search results page.

💡 TIP: If you'd like to track Key Messages in any Dashboard widgets, you can select Save Search from the search results page, which will then save this as a search that can be leveraged as a data source.
