Gaining media insights to keep clients in the news for the right reasons.

Since its founding in 1997, BLJ Worldwide has built its reputation on delivering actionable media intelligence to a wide range of high‑profile clients.

A significant player in public relations and global communications, BLJ Worldwide offers world‑class services ranging from PR and media relations to crisis communications. Tailoring strategies to the unique goals of an international clientele means undertaking substantive media monitoring and analysis on behalf of governments, NGOs, corporations and high‑profile individuals.

THE CHALLENGE

Delivering real‑time insights to build impactful campaigns.

The media intelligence and analytics team needed a tool capable of searching across diverse international and local print and online sources, without constraints on keywords or languages. Their aim: provide clients with timely and relevant information about their mentions, alongside insights into upcoming trends within their industries. 

Equipped with that breadth of coverage, clients can make informed decisions, seize emerging opportunities and navigate challenges effectively. Ultimately, the team's mission is to harness the power of media intelligence to facilitate proactive decision‑making and strategic planning.

THE SOLUTION

Powerful media intelligence paves the way for faster insights delivery.

Having worked with a variety of media monitoring and social listening solutions, BLJ Worldwide turned to LexisNexis in 2020 when it chose Nexis Newsdesk. The customer success team helped define search parameters, set up newsletters and create reports to get BLJ off to a quick start.
