Impact: nib Group have successfully established a hub wherein they can find and engage relevant journalists, stay across breaking industry news and report back on the ongoing success of their work as a Corporate Relations team.

Challenge

The Corporate Relations business unit forms a crucial part of nib Group’s business, supporting the brand through honest and transparent communications.

nib Group occupies a large portion of earned media in their industry due to the consistent contributions of their key spokespeople to relevant breaking news. The Corporate Relations team drives positive brand reputation by staying transparent when engaging with media stakeholders.

As a big part of their work is reactive, it is vital that Renea and Rose are on top of breaking stories so as to manage incoming media requests from a place of expertise.

“We made the move to Meltwater because we wanted to increase the speed at which we received media alerts and needed to understand their holistic reach including social value.  We also were struggling with reporting on the work of our team and Meltwater offered us the opportunity to quantify that value,” said Renea.

“One of the things that stood out to me when partnering with Meltwater was the Social Echo functionality. It clearly articulated the further reach that online news was getting across social media. Beforehand, we might have underestimated the impact that an article from a smaller publication could have. For me, it made me rethink how we’re responding to the media and what articles we needed to alert our frontline teams to in advance of expected member enquiries."
