Ever wondered how a business story typically unfolds? Picture this: it all starts with an aha moment, a realisation of a pressing need. Then comes the hunt for the perfect team to tackle the challenge at hand. Crafting a brief becomes the norm, and soon you find yourself knee-deep in the details of what you are aiming to achieve.
But hold on, not every business journey follows this conventional script. Sometimes, it is the unexpected encounters that lead to the most exciting ventures. Imagine a casual dinner or a post-conference cocktail where business talk seamlessly blends with genuine connection. These laid-back discussions often spark innovative ideas and solutions. Before you know it, tailored proposals from providers promise to catapult your company to new heights.
Now, let’s zoom into one such tale—the birth of the partnership between Identrics and Medianet.
We prefer to call it a partnership because, frankly, our teams work hand in hand like a well-oiled machine. Distance? Professional domains? They are mere hurdles we effortlessly overcome.
The magic lies in the seamless synergy of our collaboration, not just driving success, but fostering authentic connections. After all, there is something special about working alongside people you genuinely get along with.
And now, without further ado, here is the successful story:
A year ago, the media intelligence landscape witnessed Medianet, a leader in the field of PR and communication, team up with Identrics to harness the power of artificial intelligence. This union was forged with a specific goal in mind: to supercharge Medianet’s extensive database of over 36,000 media contacts, enhancing its PR software.
By integrating Identrics’ bespoke AI solutions, this collaboration has reached a significant milestone. The automation has not only reduced manual workloads by 40% but also enhanced the efficiency of updates to media contacts information. Specifically, the automated processes have achieved a 370% increase in the accuracy and speed of updates when compared to traditional manual methods.
