Commetric has been shortlisted in two categories at the 2026 DataComms Awards, hosted by Communicate Magazine / Cravenhill Puiblishing, recognising work that moves communications measurement beyond outputs and towards demonstrable business impact.
The shortlisted entries reflect a shared ambition: to connect media intelligence with real-world outcomes – from market perception to stakeholder influence and strategic decision-making.
The shortlisted case studies are based on our innovative and standard-setting work with Novartis Corporate Affairs advanced analytics and strategic intelligence teams.
Best Media Coverage Impact Assessment
This shortlisted project introduces a more rigorous approach to evaluating financial communications. Moving beyond traditional metrics such as volume and tone, it measures how messaging resonates with media, analysts and financial markets.
By integrating AI-powered message analysis, journalist behaviour tracking, sentiment benchmarking and share price movement across multiple earnings cycles, the framework establishes a clear link between communications activity and external response. The result is a repeatable model that sharpens message clarity, strengthens alignment with analysts and enables more confident, evidence-based decision-making.
Best Use of Data to Assist Reputation Management
The second shortlisted entry demonstrates how data can transform stakeholder strategy in high-stakes environments.
Faced with the challenge of engaging the most influential voices at major global policy forums, Commetric and Novartis developed a methodology to identify and prioritise key stakeholders from a pool of over 2,000 candidates. Combining advanced media analytics, AI-enriched stakeholder profiling and a scoring model based on Reach, Resonance and Relevance, the approach replaces instinct with evidence – reducing reputational risk, enhancing positioning and maximising strategic impact.
Turning insight into impact
These nominations underscore a core principle behind Commetric’s work: analytics only matter when they drive better decisions. By combining AI-powered technology with deep human expertise, Commetric helps organisations uncover not just what is happening in the media, but why it matters – and what to do next.
Commetric is proud to be recognised by the DataComms Awards 2026 alongside Novartis, and to continue pushing the boundaries of what media analytics can deliver.
