The top 10 media organizations rocking content efforts

Never in the history of media and communications has the pace of change been so rapid.

Seven years ago, Netflix streaming was a novelty, cord cutters were rare and “Game of Thrones” was a niche book series. Today, media companies are growing and expanding in ways we previously only dreamed.

So, who’s winning? We can’t just rely on, say, Nielsen ratings anymore. We have to look at the whole picture. One part of that picture is social media followers and activity.

Why is looking at the top media organzations important for PR and marketing pros?

Shareablee says brand managers must “keep pace with consumer demand, which includes partnering with influential content creators to produce videos, images and articles that can garner attention:

Consumer demand for content is up, video quality has never been greater and the opportunities to intersect the consumer in valuable moments abound. This opportunity, however, requires content creation to keep pace with consumer demand across media fragmentation. As brands and publishers find new ways to partner over content experiences both parties need new measurement frameworks and clear optics into the value of audiences reached and engaged with new video experiences. The U.S. Media 100 Index ^TM is a clear and transparent lens into the best-performing media companies in the U.S. across social channels that will power media planning, partnerships, measurement and more.
