News and PR monitoring

News and PR monitoring keeps you across every announcement that matters — your own, your competitors' and your industry's. MonitoringMonkey watches newsrooms, press pages, investor-relations pages and media hubs, and alerts you with an AI summary the moment a new release, statement or piece of coverage appears, so your comms team is never the last to know.

Track newsrooms and press pages as they update

Press announcements are published on predictable pages — a company newsroom, a "press" or "media" section, an investor-relations feed — and they go up the instant an embargo lifts. MonitoringMonkey watches those pages directly, so when a competitor posts a funding round, a partnership, an executive hire or a product announcement, you see it the moment it is live rather than when it filters through to your feeds hours later.

The AI reads each new release and summarises the substance — "competitor announced a Series B and named a new VP of Sales" — so your comms team grasps the significance without reading every word first. That head start is often the difference between a considered response and a scramble when a journalist calls asking for reaction.

Watch coverage, statements and crisis signals

PR monitoring is not only about proactive announcements; it is also about catching what you would rather not miss. MonitoringMonkey can watch the pages where coverage and reaction collect — media-mention lists, industry news hubs, regulator bulletins and public statement pages — and flag when something new appears about you or a competitor. In a fast-moving situation, knowing a statement has gone up or a regulator has posted a notice within minutes gives your team time to prepare.

Every change is kept as dated version history, which gives comms teams a timeline of how a story developed — when the first release went out, when it was amended, when a follow-up statement landed. That record is invaluable for post-campaign reviews and for reconstructing exactly what was said and when during a sensitive period.

For PR, comms and investor-relations teams

PR teams use MonitoringMonkey to stay ahead of competitor announcements and to have reactions ready before the phone rings. Comms teams watch the pages that shape a narrative during sensitive moments. Investor-relations and analyst-relations teams track peer disclosures so they are never surprised by a rival's filing or statement.

New releases and coverage arrive by email, Slack, Teams or webhook, so an announcement can reach the whole comms channel the minute it goes live — in time to shape the response, not just to record it.
