AEO Platform of the Year.
Brandwatch: The Pinnacle of Social Listening
Brandwatch, awarded the title of
Social Listening Solution of the Year, has made waves in the industry by empowering marketers to transform scattered social data into meaningful insights. The recognition highlights its role in simplifying the complex landscape of social media analysis. Guy Abramo, CEO at Cision, stated, "Our recent Marketer of 2026 Report revealed that only a quarter of marketers genuinely feel they understand their audiences. Brandwatch was designed to close that gap, using data to help professionals make informed decisions and implement confident strategies."
PR Newswire: Redefining Press Release Distribution
PR Newswire not only claimed the title of
Press Release Distribution Company of the Year but also earned accolades for its PR Newswire Amplify™ service, which won
AEO Platform of the Year. This platform has revolutionized how press releases reach audiences, evolving from a traditional wire service into a comprehensive Multichannel Amplification™ campaign platform. With features like the Press Release Score and AEO GEO Brand Report powered by Trajaan, organizations can enhance their AI footprint to ensure maximum visibility in today’s information-driven environment.
Abramo emphasized the importance of these innovations by stating, "These awards reflect our ongoing commitment to maintaining our rich legacy in the press release distribution industry while adapting our services in line with emergent technologies, particularly in the AI search landscape."
