Meltwater, a global leader in media, social, and consumer intelligence, has launched its new digital-first brand campaign called “Guesswork Doesn’t Work.” This campaign humorously addresses the real challenges that PR, Marketing, and Research teams encounter in making informed business decisions. It emphasizes the significance of data-driven strategies to help teams connect with their target audiences, comprehend the overall impact of their efforts, and drive ROI.

In today’s rapidly expanding online world, teams are faced with the task of sifting through vast amounts of data, making sense of it, and using it to inform strategic decisions. Despite this, only 48% of business decisions rely on quantitative data analysis, with other factors like experience and gut feeling often taking precedence. Meltwater offers a solution to this uncertainty by providing media and social intelligence tools powered by AI. These tools empower everyone in a company, from PR managers to marketing directors, to uncover actionable insights that inform strategy and measure impact effectively.

Meltwater’s suite of solutions transforms billions of media and social data points into strategic insights across various applications, including media intelligence, monitoring, social listening, influencer marketing, social media management, and consumer intelligence. Trusted by over 27,000 customers worldwide in 130 countries, Meltwater serves as a reliable source of truth for teams seeking to manage their brand presence in today’s dynamic environment.

“At Meltwater, we want to empower teams to cut through the noise and make sense of all the data available to them with insights that drive better decision making. We know that guesswork doesn’t work. PR/Communications and Marketing professionals know they need to be more data driven, but they aren’t data analysts, and often don’t know where to start. That is where Meltwater comes in – turning data into insights, and making them accessible across teams, levels, and geographies,” said Jenny Force, VP of Marketing at Meltwater.

In partnership with social strategy agency 1000heads, the Guesswork Doesn’t Work campaign launched on April 10th, kicking off its run throughout the 2024 calendar year. This digital-first, omnichannel initiative spans across social media platforms and virtual events, utilizing video, digital, and audio assets to effectively convey its message. Throughout the year, the campaign will offer valuable digital resource drops to assist PR, Marketing, and Research professionals in leveraging relevant trends and reports to enhance their team’s impact.

The campaign’s launch video adopts a humorous tone, depicting a scenario where a CMO and her team struggle due to a lack of data for formulating strategies. This narrative resonates with the challenges faced by today’s integrated PR, Communications, Marketing, and Insights teams, who require a comprehensive understanding of their brand, including industry trends, audience insights, and comprehensive reporting. Equipped with Meltwater’s AI-powered suite of solutions, they gain the necessary insights to drive tangible results.
