🤖 Spot PR Story Opportunities with Finchling
Most news monitoring tools work the same way: you give them a keyword, and they send an alert every time it appears somewhere. But this means you also get sent a LOT of junk.
Finchling doesn't care about keywords. It reads the news and asks a better question: "Is there a PR opportunity here for this brand?".
Alerts for the stories that matter: Finchling highlights stories worth reacting to, how competitors are making the news, and trends to inspire your next campaign.
Ideation that starts with the news, not a blank page: Instead of starting from scratch, every opportunity comes with data angles to explore - so you can pitch a story only your client can tell.
Plan PR campaigns months ahead, not minutes before: Finchling finds upcoming events relevant to your brand - up to a year in advance - so Monday morning is planning, not panic.
