Business Wire on Tuesday announced an exclusive partnership with social media visualization company NUVI^TM that provides companies and organizations with social media monitoring via a unique visual intelligence platform.

NUVI goes beyond the standard array of charts and graphs typical of most social media monitoring products. NUVI provides a visually intuitive real-time display of conversations that weight influence and sentiment, allowing users to instantly grasp the significance of the social media conversations taking place in their market so they can act immediately to engage their detractors and evangelists.

NUVI’s visual representation of social conversations gives executives, social media managers, crisis communication specialists, political consultants, brand managers or anyone trying to make sense out of social media chatter, the ability to understand and participate in real time. Some of NUVI’s features include:

• A clear and simple overview showing easily understood key metrics
• A patent-pending bubble stream of real-time mentions which combines analysis of commenter influence with sentiment to produce a meaningful, interactive display
• A map showing where in the world people are talking about your topics, with street-level zoom capability
• A word burst feature that lets you know at a glance what is trending and what the majority of your followers are discussing and sharing

Besides allowing clients to identify and participate in the most impactful discussions in real time, NUVI adapts itself equally well to a web-enabled mobile device or a big screen command center, giving users a high degree of portability and flexibility.

“NUVI offers Business Wire members the opportunity to monitor, make sense of and engage in the conversations that are going on around their brand, products and industry in real-time using a state-of-the-art platform which offers actionable intelligence,” said Laura Sturaitis, EVP Media Services and Product Strategy at Business Wire. “A press release on Business Wire or other breaking news event often starts critical conversations, and NUVI allows our clients to easily track, respond, engage and influence those conversations.”

Added Stuart Dean, NUVI's EVP of Business Development, "We are thrilled to enter into this exclusive partnership with the worldwide leader in news release distribution. With NUVI’s visual intelligence platform for social media engagement and Business Wire's world-class service offerings, our partnership will provide customers with unparalleled measurement tools and reporting features."
