Meltwater has received the PRWeek Global Award for Best PR Software or AI Platform, recognizing its AI for PR & Communications tools that help teams convert media signals into actionable intelligence.

The company analyzes 1.3 billion pieces of content daily across news, social, and AI channels. Teams using Meltwater reported up to 60% reductions in reporting time and 30-40% faster insight-to-action, according to the company.

Three Tools Driving the Award

PRWeek highlighted three innovations in its decision:

  • Mira - An AI-powered assistant that surfaces insights through conversation, handling tasks like news briefings, media list building, brand monitoring, and competitor analysis.
  • Explore+ - An enterprise platform that combines media, social, and AI signals into a single view, helping organizations identify trends and collaborate across regions.
  • Generative AI and LLM Lens - A monitoring tool that tracks how brands appear in responses from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other AI assistants.

John Box, CEO at Meltwater, said the award reflects the company's focus on moving teams "beyond passive monitoring and toward proactive, intelligence-driven marketing and communications strategies."

Organizations using the platform reported six-figure operational cost savings. The speed gains matter most for teams managing fast-moving narratives across multiple channels simultaneously.
