Media and influencer targeting software is a public relations tool designed to help companies identify and contact traditional media members, social media influencers, and bloggers who have authority in their given industry. The general purpose of media and influencer targeting software is to find and connect with people whose audiences will be interested in a company’s product or message. Media and influencer targeting software provides companies with a database of relevant influencers, or it gives companies tools to discover leading voices in an area of expertise. Companies use this software to find market experts who are likely to share the company’s content or create new related content. Media and influencer targeting software can be used alongside media monitoring software to understand how media members receive a user’s brand. It is related to press release distribution software, which delivers press releases directly to media members and relevant websites.
