Agility's monitoring capabilities now include enhanced metrics and the ability to analyse trends to better inform future campaigns. Visibility Reports from newswire distribution and email ROI reports are now consolidated so that clients can see the success of their wire and email campaigns in one place. Email ROI has also been improved to show valuable information on delivery success and open rates of emails, links and attachments.

"PR Newswire develops Agility according to the needs and ambitions of our clients," said Lisa Ashworth, CEO and President, PR Newswire EMEA and India. "We introduce new features every six weeks, each the result of continuous consultations with colleagues and clients all over the world. In an ever-changing marketplace, our aim is to offer customers a platform that is easy to use and meets all of their needs in one place."

Another addition is that users of Agility's monitoring service can now monitor UK copyright-protected articles from NLA media access, providing access to the online content from 1,400 national and  regional newspapers, over 750 magazines and 1,100 + news websites. With access to NLA's content, licensed clients will be able to see where they've been mentioned across key UK publications, a critical component in measuring the success of their campaigns.

Agility's new dashboard offers several new ways to customise data to make tracking and managing campaigns easy from one intuitive interface. By dragging and dropping customised widgets onto their Agility dashboard customers can keep an eye on several key topics and access monitoring and targeted email distribution reports to help them identify and participate in conversations around their brand. Each user on an account can personalise a dashboard so team members can narrow their focus to the information that matters most to them.
