Commetric has been recognised with two awards at the 2026 DataComms Awards, hosted by Communicate Magazine, underscoring the impact of its innovative approach to communications measurement and reputation intelligence.
Working in partnership with Novartis, Commetric received:
- Silver – Best Use of Data to Assist Reputation Management
- Bronze – Best Media Coverage Impact Assessment
The DataComms Awards celebrate excellence in the intelligent use of data across corporate communications, recognising organisations that transform insight into strategic impact through measurement, analytics and innovation.
These latest accolades build on a longstanding track record of award-winning work between Commetric and Novartis, reflecting a shared commitment to advancing the role of analytics in communications decision-making.
Award-winning approaches to communications intelligence
The recognised projects demonstrate two distinct but complementary applications of advanced communications analytics.
Measuring the real impact of financial communications
The Bronze-winning project in the Best Media Coverage Impact Assessment category introduced a more sophisticated framework for evaluating corporate earnings communications.
Moving beyond traditional reporting metrics such as volume and sentiment, the methodology connected message delivery with external response across media, analyst and financial audiences. By combining AI-powered message analysis, journalist behaviour tracking, sentiment benchmarking and market response indicators, the framework enabled Novartis to understand not only what coverage was generated, but how effectively key messages resonated with stakeholders.
The result was a repeatable, evidence-based model that helps communications teams refine messaging strategies, improve analyst alignment and strengthen the link between communications activity and business outcomes.
Transforming stakeholder engagement through data
The Silver-winning project in the Best Use of Data to Assist Reputation Management category focused on one of the most challenging aspects of corporate affairs: identifying and prioritising the stakeholders that matter most.
Faced with the complexity of engaging influential voices at major global policy forums, Commetric and Novartis developed a data-led stakeholder intelligence framework capable of assessing more than 2,000 potential stakeholders. Combining advanced media analytics, AI-enriched profiling and a proprietary scoring methodology based on Reach, Resonance and Relevance, the approach enabled more targeted engagement, reduced reputational risk and strengthened strategic positioning.
By replacing intuition with robust evidence, the methodology provided communications and public affairs teams with greater confidence in stakeholder prioritisation and engagement planning.
We are proud to be recognised by the DataComms Awards alongside Novartis and look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of what communications intelligence can achieve.
The official DataComms Awards programme recognises excellence in the use of data across corporate communications, reputation management, PR and measurement.
