Now we've developed Lissted, we can also look directly at the media impact of brands, announcements and launches during the event.
"The volume of media tweets around the event shows how crucial it is for PR professionals to filter media reaction from the general social media chatter, for an authentic, real-time insight into relevant conversations and industry influencers."
