Backed by Broad Media, Press Pulse analyses the media coverage by South Africa’s major publications, and ranks popular brands by determining how much positive, neutral, and negative coverage they receive.

This is a great indicator of the overall perception of these companies, and provides them with valuable data on how and where to improve.
