This integration represents a first for CNW and the newswire industry. CNW clients will be the first to benefit from the convenience of an end-to-end communications management solution.

"This solution enables a communications team to work collaboratively to create content; target and engage the appropriate audience - both traditional and web-based; distribute news; monitor and report results; and, evaluate the success of their efforts, all within a secure and convenient web environment," said Carolyn McGill-Davidson, President and CEO of CNW Group. "We know our clients will be excited by the new functionality that is now available."

The seamless integration of these two online systems is an early benefit of CNW's April 2010 acquisition of dna13, the technology powerhouse behind the MediaVantage platform.

MediaVantage is a powerful search engine that monitors all forms of traditional, online and social media, and relates results from those sources back to the issues, themes or campaigns being tracked by the client. Subscribers benefit from the ease and efficiency of a collaborative work space that provides tools that support the communications process, including easy-to-use measurement features and easy-to-share reports providing useable business intelligence and insight.
