mBlast Welcomes New Year With A Big Bang and “mPACT”

Top cloud-based solutions for marketers and PR professionals, mBlast, has vowed to change the sphere of marketing as it launches the new tool—mPACT. This roll out is expected to provide an  innovative web-based advertising tool that automatically determines the Influencers the client needs to target, based on several factors: authority, currency, relevance and other key data points.

An article from mBlast.com briefly explains the scope and the concept behind this revolutionary tool: “mPACT constantly indexes millions of data streams from 700,000 publications and other media sources 24×7 and delivers specific, actionable information to you via an easy-to-use, customizable dashboard and a robust set of reports, so you can identify exactly who the Influencers are who your market is listening to.”

mPACT’s definition of influence is not congruent to popularity. A good example is: Justin Bieber has over 6 million Twitter followers; however, he cannot penetrate the automobile or the hi-tech market. Similarly, a blogger may have a remarkable generic “influence score” through some other influencer measuring parcels within the market, but could also have the off beam focus and may have the tendency to influence the market a marketing professional does not care about (i.e. Automotive Engines instead of the iPhone market).

To make things simple, mPACT will now enable organizations and enterprises to identify and shed light to significant marketing questions like:

  • Who’s my market listening to?
  • Who can I target to help spread my message?
  • What are these Influencers saying about my company, products, and competitors?
  • What opportunities am I missing to engage with my key Influencers?

On a general perspective, what makes mBlast unique from other contemporary providers is that it utilizes a collaboration between marketing experts and market influencers—those individuals who through their online writing, social media activity, awards and events shape what potential buyers think about a company and their products and services.
