Propel launches PRM3, a PR management, monitoring and measurement offering. The company says that the offering, developed in partnership with LexisNexis, is the most comprehensive CRM for PR on the market, and is the only PR tech tool that includes Gmail and Outlook plug-ins for pitching, and dashboards for analyzing ROI from PR. It also provides what Propel calls “the first non-vanity metrics” for objectively benchmarking the quality and impact of coverage, analyzing such data points as whether the organization’s name was featuredin the headline, originality of reporting and whether a backlink was embedded. Social monitoring across Twitter, Instagram and Facebook is also part of the platform’s capabilities, as well as broadcast monitoring in partnership with TVEyes. “PRM3 unleashes new synergies and insights that free PR professionals up to focus on their core objectives, save hours each week, and improve their response rate and coverage by up to 2x,” said Propel co-founder, CEO and chairman Zach Cutler.
