Communication Analytics in GlobalData Explorer

GlobalData Explorer contains data and analysis for a given company's social media trends, news sentiment analysis*, news about your company, and global ads.

To find this information, search your company and click on its profile. The menu on the left-hand side will have a section called Signals. The Signals Dashboard is a good place to start to get an overview. Smaller companies will probably not have as extensive information as larger companies although it may still be provide you with some insights. You can also search for a company within the same industry or which targets the same market for comparison.
