The "Data Fragmentation" Problem
Scattered client campaign metrics, such as media impressions and earned media value (EMV), buried in email chains and disconnected PR tools like Cision and Meltwater
Inaccurate ROI calculations from siloed media coverage data in tools like Google Alerts and engagement metrics from social listening platforms, leading to flawed share of voice (SOV) assessments
Delayed crisis response due to lack of real-time sentiment tracking across channels, including traditional media, social platforms, and influencer networks
Team burnout from manual reporting on client deliverables like press release performance and benchmarks against industry AVEs (advertising value equivalency)
Missed upselling opportunities because prospect data isn't unified with past campaign learnings, such as successful thought leadership placements and client advocacy metrics
Compliance risks in client reporting from inconsistent data aggregation across global teams, violating GDPR or SEC disclosure standards in cross-border PR campaigns

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays chasing media metrics like impressions and clip volumes from three different platforms—Cision, Meltwater, and our internal CRM—it was chaos during quarter-end closes. Now, with their custom dashboard, we pull client reports in under 10 minutes and spotted a 15% sentiment dip early on a major tech account launch, saving the relationship and boosting our renewal rate. It's like having a data co-pilot for PR campaigns."
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Account Director, Horizon PR Group (a mid-sized firm specializing in B2B communications)
"We handle 15+ clients across industries, and fragmented tools meant missed opportunities in upselling analytics services tied to our media relations packages. After implementing their BI solution six months ago, our client retention jumped 25%, with real-time alerts on coverage trends enabling proactive pitches that closed two additional contracts worth $150K. The integration has been game-changing for our agency growth."
Michael Torres
Managing Partner, Apex Communications (a full-service agency focused on digital PR and influencer strategies)
"Crisis PR is our bread and butter, but without unified data from social listening and wire services, responses lagged by 48 hours on average. AIQ's system integrates social listening with our internal notes seamlessly, including alerts for spiking negative mentions. Last quarter, we turned a potential PR nightmare—a product recall for a Fortune 500 client—into a win by reacting in under four hours, mitigating 70% of the backlash. Solid work from a team that gets our high-stakes world."
Emily Chen
Director of Crisis Strategy, Vanguard Media (a boutique firm excelling in reputation management for global brands)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your BI solution handle sensitive client data in PR campaigns?
Security is paramount in PR, where client confidentiality can make or break trust. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA from day one. Your data stays in a fortified, private cloud—never shared or resold. For instance, we implement granular permissions so junior staff see only approved metrics, while execs access full analytics. We've audited systems for 20+ agencies, ensuring zero breaches, and include regular penetration testing. This approach not only protects IP but also builds client confidence, as they know their campaign secrets are safe while gaining shared visibility into results.
What makes your BI different from tools like Google Data Studio?
Unlike free tools like Google Data Studio, which rely on manual setups and break with complex PR data flows, our custom BI is engineered for depth. We create unified views that pull from niche sources—think integrating HARO responses with Meltwater clippings—without the 30% failure rate of generic connectors. It's not just visualization; we add AI for anomaly detection, like flagging unusual sentiment drops. PR firms using off-the-shelf options often waste 15 hours weekly on tweaks; our systems deliver 95% automation out of the gate, tailored to your workflow for true ownership and scalability.
How long does it take to see ROI from your BI implementation?
Most PR clients notice quick wins within the first month—think slashing report prep from 8 hours to 30 minutes per client. Full ROI, like 25% better campaign targeting, typically hits in 3-6 months as teams adapt. We base this on benchmarks from similar agencies: one saw billable hours rise 18% by reallocating time from data hunting to strategy. Our phased rollout minimizes disruption, starting with high-impact dashboards for your top accounts. Long-term, it compounds, reducing churn through provable value and enabling data-driven pitches that close 30% faster.
Is this solution scalable as our firm grows to more clients?
Absolutely—scalability is core to our design. We architect with modular frameworks that handle exponential data growth, from 10 to 100 clients, without performance dips. For example, during a client's product launch surge, our systems process 10x normal traffic seamlessly. Unlike rigid SaaS limits, your custom setup expands via code updates we manage, supporting global teams with multi-language support. We've scaled BI for firms doubling revenue in two years, maintaining sub-second query speeds. It's built to evolve, not replace, ensuring your investment compounds as you grow.
Do you provide training for our non-technical PR staff?
Yes, we prioritize user-friendly adoption. Our onboarding includes hands-on sessions tailored to PR roles—account execs learn KPI navigation, while creatives get sentiment trend overviews. No tech degree required; interfaces mimic familiar tools like Slack. We deliver video tutorials and a searchable knowledge base, plus 30 days of support post-launch. In one case, a 50-person agency had 90% team proficiency in two weeks, leading to immediate use in client meetings. This ensures your investment translates to daily value, not shelfware.
What if our needs change mid-project?
Flexibility is baked in. We use agile methodologies, with bi-weekly check-ins to pivot based on feedback—like adding influencer tracking if your focus shifts. Contracts include revision buffers, so evolving client demands don't inflate costs. A recent project adjusted for a merger, incorporating new data sources in under a week without halting progress. Our goal: a living system that adapts to PR's dynamic landscape, from viral campaigns to regulatory shifts, keeping you ahead without rework hassles.
